Postdoctoral Researcher in Cancer Genomics

Chart tumour evolution using cutting-edge long-read and single-cell multiomicsWho we are
The Integrative Cancer Genomics lab (Jonas Demeulemeester) is embedded within the VIB – KU Leuven Center for Cancer Biology and VIB.AI, two of the research departments of the VIB Life Sciences Institute within KU Leuven, one of the world's top 50 universities. Our diverse and international center is located on the University Hospital Campus Gasthuisberg, where it hosts about 230 researchers and staff, creating a vibrant ecosystem where fundamental research meets clinical practice.What we do
Our cells continuously accumulate genetic and epigenetic changes that fuel somatic evolution through drift and selection. Over time, these processes turn tissues into molecular mosaics containing competing subclones, often carrying cancer driver mutations. We aim to bridge the gap between somatic genotypes and phenotypes using cutting-edge approaches including long-read sequencing (PacBio, Nanopore), sin...
