Researcher in Training (MD or Clinical Technologist)

Do you want to contribute to the earlier detection of pancreatic carcinoma in people with an increased hereditary risk? Within this PhD trajectory, you will combine patient-centered research, international collaboration, and innovative translational research.

This PhD trajectory focuses on the early detection of pancreatic carcinoma in high-risk individuals based on heredity. This group undergoes imaging surveillance, the outcomes of which are investigated within a cohort study running since 2008 (www.caps-registry.com). Additionally, biomaterial is stored for the development of new biomarkers for high-grade dysplasia and early carcinoma.

Are responsible for the coordination of the prospective multicenter cohort study and the inclusion and follow-up of patients in the outpatient clinic. For this, you will hold a research clinic once a week.

Coordinate the international consortium and the prospective registration of surveillance studies worldwide.

Coordinate the collection of biomaterial and perform translational research into the development of biomarkers in collaboration with the biomedical researchers of the GI laboratory.

Perform statistical analyses and write scientific manuscripts based on the research results.
