Welcome to the Weischenfeldt Lab

We are an interdisciplinary cancer genomics research group at the Biotech Research & Innovation Centre (BRIC) and Finsen Laboratory, Rigshospitalet. Cancer is a disease of the genome, and we are interested in the mutational mechanisms driving clonal evolution of cancer, in particular mechanisms of complex structural variants and the impact on 3D chromatin organisation.

Our group develop and apply computational approaches jointly with molecular biology methods to study clonal evolution and mutation formation in cancer samples (see Research).

Find us at Finsen Laboratory, BioCenter at University of Copenhagen).

Are you curious and passionate about science with a strong background in computational biology and/or cancer genetics?

We are always looking for highly motivated and passionate new PhD students, Postdocs, and Master students to join our team (more info) !

We are grateful for funding from Rigshospitalet, Novo Nordisk Foundation, Independent Research Fund Denmark, Danish Cancer Society, Rigshospitalet’s forskningsfond, Carlsbergfondet, Marie Curie Actions, Arvid Nilssons Fond, and NIH.
