Peter E. Andersen

DTU Health Tech at the Technical University of Denmark is recruiting two PhD candidates for the Zee-Zoom-Zap program, an ERC SyG-funded project running from 2026 to 2032. The project is led by Peter E. Andersen and involves a broader international collaboration with Andreas Kjaer (University of Copenhagen), Çağlar Ataman (University of Freiburg), and Miguel Angel Gonzalez Ballester (Universitat Pompeu Fabra). The research is centered on biophotonic imaging , cancer theranostics , and pancreatic cancer . The project aims to overcome the fundamental challenge of achieving specific, high-resolution imaging at depth in tissue, combining early cancer detection through small lumens, non-invasive optical “biopsies,” and local therapy. The work also includes optical sensing and imaging systems , micro-optical catheters , lasers , and AI/deep learning for imaging, detection, decision support, and treatment guidance. This is a strong opportunity for candidates interested in interdisciplinary research at the interface of biomedical engineering , medical science , physics , and computer science . The post does not list detailed entry requirements, but the project context suggests a fit for applicants with relevant technical or biomedical training and a strong interest in translational cancer research. The positions are described as part of a funded ERC SyG program, but no stipend amount or tuition details are given. Applications should be submitted through the online job portal linked in the post. No deadline is stated.
