The Wallace group (https://chr1swallace.github.io) work on understanding mechanisms underlying immune-mediated disease through integrated analysis of omics data. We seek a statistician interested in human genetics who wants to apply machine learning to estimate cell population frequencies from bulk gene expression data. A common approach to identify dysregulated pathways in diseases is to compare gene expression profiles from healthy vs disease samples. However, the cellular composition of many biological samples is heterogeneous, and, given that many disease processes involve cell infiltration and expansion, such comparisons are confounded by changes in cellular composition. In addition, it is generally recognised that rare populations play a critical role in the pathogenesis of complex diseases, therefore, the ability to measure and interpret phenotypic changes between specific conditions at the cell subset level is critical to obtain a detailed understanding of the role of...

An opportunity has arisen for a talented statistician or probabilistic machine learning methods developer to join Dr Paul Kirk's group at the MRC Biostatistics Unit, Cambridge University, as part of the MIMAH (Minimising Mortality from Alcoholic Hepatitis) Consortium; see also: https://www.mimah.org Alcohol related liver disease (ALD) is responsible for more than 6000 deaths a year in the UK and costs the NHS £3.5 billion. Alcoholic hepatitis is a florid presentation of ALD in which patients present with jaundice and liver failure. Unfortunately, around 30% of people admitted to hospital with this condition will die within 3 months. The treatment of alcoholic hepatitis is complicated by the fact that there is inflammation within the liver whilst the patient is very susceptible to infection. As a result, treatment with drugs, such as steroids, which suppress the immune system may exacerbate the risk of infection. We will apply state of the art Bayesian clustering...
