The successful postdoctoral fellow will join the Cancer Genetics Group and contribute to research on the genetic risk and tumour biology of breast cancer in populations of African ancestry. The project focuses on analysing unique genomic datasets to better understand inherited breast cancer susceptibility, tumour biology, and clinical behaviour in populations that remain underrepresented in global cancer genomics research.
