The Tata Medical Center and the Tata Translational Cancer Research Centre –

The Tata Medical Center (TMC) is a multispecialty institution for tertiary cancer care based in New Town, Kolkata. At TMC, clinical and research activities are integrated to provide state-of-the-art care for patients with cancer. This integration is enabled by the Tata Translational Cancer Research Centre (TTCRC), the research arm of TMC. TTCRC is within a dedicated academic space and spread over 3 floors. At TTCRC, a multidisciplinary team of clinicians, scientists, academics and industry professionals collaborate to develop a systems medicine approach in cancer research. This approach is focused on developing innovative, indigenous, cost-effective and equitable strategies to improve cancer diagnosis; develop treatments that

match disease characteristics and are adapted to treatment response; and, identify prognostic and predictive disease biomarkers. These strategies are multi-dimensional and involve an iterative pathway that includes clinical studies, high-throughput laboratory investigations, computational strategies to integrate, analyse and model data, hypothesis-based pre-clinical studies and evidence-based translation of findings to clinical practice.

The Position –

In this position, you will work as part of the informatics team at TTCRC. The group’s work is
focussed currently on two cancers, acute lymphoblastic leukaemia and gallbladder cancer which focuses on a targeted and global approach to understanding the variations in the cancer genome. These studies include using high throughput genomic data such as mRNA sequencing, targeted exome sequencing and whole-exome sequencing. TTCRC has a dedicated genomics laboratory facility equipped with Illumina (NextSeq 550 and MiSeq) and Oxford Nanopore Technology (MinION) sequencers. Your primary responsibility is to analyse high throughput data generated from the equipment as well as develop new pipelines for analysis. This involves working closely with the hospital’s multidisciplinary in house clinical team and researchers as well as collaborators. The post holder will also take responsibility for maintaining IT networks and related hardware to ensure the smooth functioning of data storage and transfer. The post holder will have a designated desk and workstation.
