About the Role
Scientist will be expected to lead development and application of computational methods for analysis of spatial omics data together with more traditional microscopy images, in the context of biological studies of different diseases, aging and other processes impacting tissue homeostasis. Particular emphasis will be placed on analysis of tissue architectures, deciphering cell communications, and control of proliferation within tissues. Successful candidate will collaborate with both internal and external experimental groups, lead or participate in planning experimental designs, author and contribute to biological and methodological manuscripts, contribute to seminars and other scientific initiations within Altos as well as wider scientific community.
