Fondazione IRCCS Istituto Nazionale dei Tumori, Milan – Italy

Full-Time Positions | 3-Year Contract | Starting January 2026

The project will apply cutting-edge Causal Inference and Machine Learning tools to investigate how the oral microbiota can influence the onset and severity of side effects from chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatment in head and neck cancer patients. Our goal is to develop biologically extended clinical models of normal tissue complications that enable personalized, microbiota-based treatment strategies with the potential to significantly improve patient outcomes and quality of life during cancer therapy.

The
