The Rare Cancers Genomics team at IARC-WHO is a multicultural and multidisciplinary team including bioinformaticians, data scientists, and molecular biologists from four different nationalities, and piloting large international consortia. It is a vibrant environment ideal for a student willing to pursue an international career in medical bioinformatics or data science to gain experience in state-of-the-art bioinformatics (reproducible workflows interacting with High-Performance Computing facilities) and big data analysis (modern statistics and machine learning) covering most of the spectrum of ‘omic approaches used in medical genomics. Team alumni pursued their career in world-leading medical research institutions (Barcelona Institute for Research in Biomedicine, Lausanne University Hospital, University of Calgary, Stanford University), at IARC-WHO, and in private companies (bioMerieux).
