JOB SUMMARY

The TB group’s major research interests are improving TB diagnosis, treatment and identifying multi-drug-resistant TB by carrying out clinical trials of new diagnostic tests, therapeutic approaches, and novel vaccines. We also aim to understand how genetic variations in both host and pathogen influence disease presentations, treatment responses and outcomes. We are in collaboration with three hospitals in Vietnam (the Hospital for Tropical Diseases, Pham Ngoc Thach Hospital and National Lung Hospital) and oversea institutions (Universities of Oxford, Cambridge, Washington, California, Harvard, Melbourne, Radboud, Stellenbosch) to conduct clinical and laboratory studies.

The TB group currently consists of six small teams, including Data team. Data team currently consists of two PhD students, three RAs, and one team leader. They are in charge of bioinformatics research and perform statistical analysis for various studies within TB group.

We are seeking a motivated and talented individual to contribute to statistical analysis and bioinformatics, with a focus on investigating host responses associated with clinical phenotypes in patients with active TB. This work will utilize multi-omics studies conducted within the TB research group.
