Numerous medical technologies are being devised that use physical stimuli (electrical, mechanical, optical, magnetic). However, this research is still in its embryonal form, and experimental information are lacking. In addition to the necessary experimental data to be produced, a lot can be done by exploiting existing resources, in particular in the form of published omics. The candidate will learn to navigate omics databases (among which the most important, but not only, will be GEO https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/), query relevant items, explore related literature when available or interview authors when incomplete, with the objective to compile the first and largest data collection of this kind. The candidate will also learn the basics of omic analyses, a useful asset in academic and industrial bio-computing related environments.
