Ilona H. Urbarova


Postdoktor

Stillingsbeskrivelse

Ilona H. Urbarova er postdoktor i molekylærbiologi og bioinformatikk ved Det helsevitenskapelige fakultet ved UiT. Hennes forskning er rettet mot analyser av omics-data i blodprøver av lungekreftpasienter, både ved og før diagnose, og hvordan de korrelerer med endringer i immunceller i blod og i svulst. Hun har lang erfaring (over 10 år) med analyser av ulike omics-data på genom-, transkriptom- og proteomnivå (inkludert epigenomikk, miRNA-ekspresjon og de novo genomikk og transkriptomikk). Hun er for tiden også en del av andre studier som ser på inflammatoriske blodmarkører og deres assosiasjon med tykktarmskreft, periodontitt eller sosial eksposom, eller som studerer miljøforurensninger i menneskelige blodprøver. Nylig ble hun også involvert i det EU-finansierte DISCERN-prosjektet som prøver å identifisere årsakene til tre dårlig forstått kreftformer i Europa - nyre-, bukspyttkjertel- og tykktarmskreft.

Ilona H. Urbarova er postdoktor i Systemepidemiologi gruppe ved Institutt for samfunnsmedisin (ISM).
