Title of the research project
Post-Doctoral Research Fellow, Computational Cancer Biology
Description

A postdoctoral position in computational cancer biology is available at Quebec Heart and Lung Institute Research Center (IUCPQ) in the labs of Dr. Venkata Manem and Dr. Philippe Joubert. We seek a highly motivated individual with a track-record of Machine Learning/Deep Learning model development applied to healthcare data. The successful candidate will address developing and applying Machine Learning/Deep Learning algorithms to extract relevant biological insights from imaging and pathological data of lung cancer patients.

Effect of oxygen pressure in cancerous tissue cells on radiotherapy treatments

Student member : Corinne Chouinard

Radiotherapy treatments currently used in the clinical field are rarely modified. They generally consist of a global therapy of 50 grays, fractionated in five treatments of two grays every week for five weeks.
Thus, it could be worthwhile to develop a numeric tool, based on mathematical models found in the literature, in order to compare different types of treatment without having to test them on real tissues. Several parameters are known to alter the tissue response after irradiation including oxygen
