PhD Studentship in Artificial Intelligence to decipher biomarkers and molecular mechanisms of disease flares in Rheumatoid Arthritis at Newcastle University on FindAPhD.com

A unique studentship opportunity to join an interdisciplinary team with world class reputation is offered by Newcastle University. This PhD studentship is part of a biomedical research European project funded by FOREUM (Foundation for Research in Rheumatology) and with partners in Italy, Spain and the UK. The project focuses on Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), affecting 35 million people worldwide with many of them unable to achieve sustained disease remission with current treatments. The aim of the project is to understand and characterise the disease mechanisms at molecular level that lead to disease flares, with a combination of skills including experimental medicine, immunology and artificial intelligence. In this doctoral project you will focus on the challenge of devising innovative strategies to process, using artificial intelligence, the rich data that the project will generate in order to design prediction models relevant to RA flares (e.g.
