IP_CMC competition for research using WGS
27.06.2024
The Interdisciplinary Pomeranian Centre for Digital Medicine (IP_CMC) announces a competition for employees and Ph.D. students of the MUG and the UCC for research using whole-genome sequencing (WGS).
Sequencing of 100 patient genomes will be performed within the IP_CMC consortium.
Proposal:
- no specific form,
- form: maximum two pages of description in pdf format (Arial font, size 11).
Applications should be sent by 15 September 2024 to: centralnybiobank@gumed.edu.pl.
Restrictions:
- the applicant may be a Department or Clinic (it is necessary to obtain written permission from the head of the unit to conduct the study),
- the project leader may be a person who, at the application deadline, holds at least a Master’s degree or equivalent,
- the project leader has at least one published paper in his/her scientific output,
- between 1 and 33 samples can be sequenced in a single application.
Project duration:
2 years, biobanking by 15 November 2024. – 16 November 2026.
Selection Committee:
- IDUB Priority Research Areas representatives (3),
- IP_CMC representatives (3).
Tasks carried out by the IP_CMC:
- performance of DNA isolation,
- biobanking and sequencing of samples,
- data analysis, and providing files of detected genetic variants with their annotation.
Tasks of the project manager:
- taking informed consent from the patient for the collection of biological material for WGS testing and completing the questionnaire (model documents are specified by the MRA),
- collection of material from patients and transfer to the Central Biobank (according to the MRA quality requirements),
