Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Basic Metabolic Research
University of Copenhagen
The University of Copenhagen is seeking a highly motivated and talented Postdoc fellow to commence on March 1, 2025, or after agreement in the Rasmussen Group at the Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Basic Metabolic Research (CBMR), University of Copenhagen.
About Us
The Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Basic Metabolic Research (CBMR) is an academic research Center that pioneers groundbreaking research towards better cardiometabolic health. Through collaborative interdisciplinary research from single-cell genomics to whole-body systems, CBMR aims to transform the basic understanding of cardiometabolic health and accelerate its translation into prevention and treatment strategies. The Center’s uniquely multi- and interdisciplinary approach combines research in genetics, physiology and pharmacology, to better understand the complex interplay of the many factors that drive cardiometabolic disease. You can learn more in the Executive Summary of CBMR's Strategy 2024–2028.
CBMR was established in 2010 at the Faculty of Health & Medical Sciences and has been located in the Maersk Tower at PANUM since 2017. The around 260 employees create an international, highly collaborative research environment across disciplines.
Our Research
The Rasmussen Lab focuses on development and application of computational algorithms such as machine and deep learning for analysis and integration of multi-omics and multi-modal data within cardiometabolic disease. We develop and apply supervised, un-supervised, self-supervised and generative models to learn across multiple types of data rather than treating each data modality in isolation. We have a high focus on collaboration with national and international partners and thrive in interdisciplinary projects. In the group we organize ourselves around smaller teams with common goals and have an inclusive atmosphere. We encourage diversity across all parameters.
Job Description
The aim of the project is to study and develop biologically informed prediction models for obesity risk in individuals with ADHD. The position is part of a Novo Nordisk Foundation Data Science funded project in collaboration with the Demontis Lab at Aarhus University. The candidate will define subgroups of individuals with ADHD through integration of multi-omics, clinical, and electronic health record data using large international biobank data such as iPSYCH, UKB, Generation Scotland, All-of-Us and/or Project 10K. This will be done using our deep learning based integrative framework MOVE (Allesøe et al., Nature Biotechnology, 2023). We will investigate the subgoups using genetic information such as ADHD and obesity specific polygenic risk scores, GWAS relevant and rare variants. Furthermore, there will be an opportunity to incorporate molecular information from scRNA and scATAC data in collaboration with the NNF Center for Genomic Mechanism of Disease at the Broad institute. For risk prediction across modalities, we will apply our supervised deep learning framework EIR (Sigurdsson et al., 2023, NAR). Besides modelling, your tasks will also include interpretation of the results and dissemination through presentations and preparation of manuscripts. You will join our team aiming to improve precision health through training DL models on biobank scale molecular and health data.
