WHAT WILL YOU BE DOING?

Within the department RAPID, we study the influence of all aspects of our personal and work environment on our health, with the emphasis on the influence of chemicals such as exposure to benzene and/or nanoparticles. ‘Technology cluster Modelling & Statistics’ (TC MOST) is a team that aims to quantify and understand this influence using data analysis, modelling and statistics. However, TC MOST also ventures out to related health areas, such as the development of drugs and the modelling of diabetes type-2 and the prevention of burn-out problems. Our own developed online DIAMONDS platform helps managing and integrating data, knowledge and algorithms. TC MOST is continuously looking for students interested in an internship in one of the following domains:

  • Modelling. To study the effect of interventions, changes in behavior or changes in the environment, we model the relations between variables and properties. We visualize the relations between biological and physiological health-parameters using for example machine learning tools, such as random forest models, neural networks and network analyses. Also physiologically-based pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic (PBPK/PD) models are developed and used. Where possible, we aim to integrate expert driven and data driven approaches.
  • Statistics. To test our models or effects found in experimental or quasi-experimental studies, statistics plays a crucial role. TC MOST uses data analysis and statistics in its broadest form: multivariate data analysis (study of large datasets), time series analysis (study of data collected over time), design of experiments (gain the maximum amount of information from the minimal amount of experiments) and N=1 analysis (compare timepoints for the same individual or object) are some of the examples. These methods are used to create integrated approaches that combine modelling and statistics, such as quantitative network models and healthspace models.
  • Data management & integration. To collect, store and use our obtained data and models, we developed DIAMONDS. In itself, DIAMONDS combines secure data storage and retrieval, automated literature search, statistical apps and scripts, visualization of proteins and large searchable databases. DIAMONDS is used for, among others, toxicity prediction, early identification and evaluation of toxicity related to drug targets (Target Tri), and early signals for food safety.

WHAT DO WE REQUIRE OF YOU?

  • You are a Master’s student with a passion for data, modelling and analysis.
  • You enjoy being part of a multi-disciplinary team, but can also work independently.
  • You are a strong communicator.
  • You have affinity with Life Sciences, knowledge of Life Sciences is an advantage.
