The Informatics Technology Department Unit at the Champalimaud Foundation in Lisbon, is looking for a Junior Data Manager dedicated to designing business intelligence processes and harmonising corporate, medical and research data for extraction of relevant metrics. It will be your job to liaise between the different branches of the institution.

At the Champalimaud Colorectal Cancer Conference, last February, Gina Brown, from the Imperial College London, questioned the validity of the current staging strategy for colon cancer. Indeed, research shows that lymph nodes are not the main culprit in colon cancer spread, and can actually be a sign that the patient’s immune system is fighting back. 

Coordinated by Professor Ana Santos Almeida, principal investigator of a translational laboratory at the GIMM Foundation - Gulbenkian Institute for Molecular Medicine (GIMM-CARE), this study will take place at the Champalimaud Foundation, in collaboration with Dr. José Azevedo, surgeon of the Colorectal Cancer Group of the Digestive Unit of the Champalimaud Clinical Center, and at the Hospital de Santa Maria, with the participation of oncologists Professor Luís Costa and Dr. André Mansinho.
