Postdoctoral Fellow: Linking X-ray Imaging and
Vor 4 Tagen
Postdoctoral Fellowships
Hamburg, Germany
A collaboration between EMBL Hamburg, EMBL Rome and EMBL Heidelberg has been awarded funding from CZI to link the detailed cellular morphology of a tissue with its repertoire of macromolecules: High Throughput X-ray Tomography to Target Transcriptomics (HiTT2T).
EMBL Hamburg has recently established HiTT (High Throughput Tomography) - an X-ray imaging workflow which offers a fast and high-throughput approach to 3D structural imaging and virtual histology characterisation of entire tissue samples within minutes. Separately, EMBL Rome have developed spatial-omics technologies that permit multiplex RNA detection in thin tissue sections. The ability to target the 2D-omics data production based on the 3D X-ray data has the potential to revolutionise our understanding of disease. With this proposal, we will move beyond the current state-of-the-art of the methodologies and go to high throughput volumetric tissue analysis and transcriptomics via the development of HiTT2T - High Throughput Tomography to Targeted Transcriptomics. Using the information obtained via HiTT2T and the power of computational analysis presents the possibility of predicting and/or preventing disease with a greater degree of accuracy in the future.
Your role
This role in Liz Duke’s team at EMBL Hamburg will involve extensive use of a synchrotron facility, particularly the P14 beamine at PETRA III.
You will contribute to the development of high throughput X-ray tomography techniques applied to the imaging and analysis of tissue samples as part of the 3D X-ray to 3D transcriptomics workflow.
**Closing date**: 31 December 2024
Contract duration: 3 years
Grading: Stipend
Reference number: HH00235
You have
For this role you have:
- A PhD in an area broadly relevant to tissue imaging in biology
- Computational experience in the handling and analysis of large volume 3D data sets
- An affinity for collaborative multidisciplinary work
- A good command of spoken and written English as the working language at EMBL is English
You might also have
You might also have specific expertise in one or more of the following areas:
- Experience with registration algorithms and targeting approaches
- Experience in 3D Image segmentation
