The Computational Systems Biology group led by Harri Lähdesmäki in the Department of Information and Computer Science at Aalto University School of Science and Technology (formerly Helsinki University of Technology) uses computational and statistical modeling techniques to study molecular regulatory mechanisms and biomolecular networks, and their role in health and disease. We have interest in statistics, computational science and molecular biology, and how modern computational methods can be applied to experimental data to understand biological systems. 1.   Post-doc/Ph.D. studentship in computational systems biology 2.   Ph.D. studentship in computational systems biology 3.   Ph.D. studentship in statistical modeling and machine learning for next-generation sequencing data in systems biology 4.   Part-time research assistant (MSc student level) in bioinformatics/computational systems biology Do you wish to know more?

CLC Bio today said that it, along with partners Ion Torrent Systems and Aarhus University Hospital, have received a $2 million grant from the Danish National Advanced Technology Foundation to support a molecular diagnostics collaboration. Under the three-year alliance, the partners aim to develop and integrated hardware and software solution for molecular diagnostics that will utilize high-throughput sequencing. According to CLC Bio, the partners aim to provide faster and more precise DNA-based diagnostics. Earlier this year, Ion Torrent unveiled its Personal Genome Machine, an electronic sequencer last week that reads DNA on a semiconductor chip by measuring the release of hydrogen ions as nucleotides get incorporated by DNA polymerase. The PGM sequencer is a desktop instrument that will cost only $50,000. The Ion PGM sequencer does a single run in about an hour or two. The collaboration will lead to an IT solution that can be used for molecular diagnostics research and for clinical ...
