MSc and PhD student positions are available in the Quantitative and Translational Medicine Laboratory group of Dr. Morgan Craig, Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the Université de Montréal and Researcher at the Research Center of the Sainte-Justine University Hospital. (dms.umontreal.ca/~craigm, https://research.chusj.org/en/Axes-de-recherche/Bio?id=1d9c9e5f-fad4-494c-aef0-6d7b9f056970).
The Quantitative and Translational Medicine Laboratory focuses on the application and implementation of quantitative approaches, particularly computational biology, to study biologically-relevant questions of large medical importance, with a particular emphasis on the optimization of treatment strategies for a variety of diseases. Dr Craig’s current projects include understanding pre-leukemic hematopoietic stem cell dynamics, PBPK/PD models of antiretroviral drugs to support the design of a novel sustained-release delivery device for improved HIV treatment design and HIV cure strategies, unravelling immunological networks during rare diseases, and quantifying the impact of heterogeneity in glioblastoma, melanoma, and non-small cell lung cancer tumours on resistance pathways and ultimate therapy success. Dr. Craig’s research is highly multidisciplinary and is conducted in close collaboration with experimentalists and clinicians.
