Aebersold group: Student project to monitor epigenetic states in melanoma cells using novel proteomic tools
The student will learn how to process samples for mass spectrometry analysis, to analyse the resulting proteomic datasets and integrate them into a larger multi-omics framework. The work will be published in a scientific journal and the student will be involved in writing up the manuscript.
Cancer is a multifactorial disease characterized by aberrations in genetic and epigenetic processes. While the genetic basis of cancer is now better understood a better understanding of epigenetic processes, its transformation during cancer and its integration with genetic cancer lesions may contribute to developing novel alternative and/or complementary diagnoses and therapies.
This student project is funded by 3rd URPP UZH Translational Cancer Research call.
