About this position

A blood sample can be collected repeatedly, but a biopsy from the brain, liver or intestine cannot be. Could the molecular signals in the blood reveal what is happening in other tissues, and tell us when the inference is trustworthy? This PhD will develop Blood2Tissue, a tissue-conditioned AI modelling framework that predicts tissue-specific gene expression programmes from blood. Existing studies demonstrate feasibility for some genes and tissues, but predictions are often population average, accuracy varies substantially, and current approaches rarely identify which individual predictions can
