About your role
As a PhD candidate in the MReye Research Group within the Departments of Ophthalmology, Radiology and Radiotherapy, you will conduct research within the larger COMPOSE project. Within this project we develop methods to combine optical, MRI and histopathology data of eye cancer patients and use this to further personalize the treatment.

You will subsequently explore strategies to integrate these biomarkers into current treatment planning and follow-up. Additionally, you will assist in the clinical studies that provide the data for your analyses.
