Projectmanager Liquid Biopsy ctDNA pilot (Joint Action Personalized Cancer Medicine)
We are currently seeking a Project Manager to join our local team and international network to support the coordination of the Liquid Biopsy pilot to implement ctDNA-guided treatment decision-making within the Joint Action Personalized Cancer Medicine (JA PCM) project. The project will take approximately 4 years.
The JA PCM project aims to implement personalized cancer medicine across Europe. Liquid biopsies (blood draws) contain minute amounts of cell-free circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), which can be used as a biomarker to guide treatment decision-making. The Liquid Biopsy pilot within the JA PCM project aims to bring ctDNA molecular diagnostics to clinical implementation, on technical, clinical and organizational level. This European pilot is led by an international multidisciplinary team and involves more than 40 sites in 20 countries.
You will be responsible for:
Coordinating, organizing and facilitating (inter)national network (web)meetings, including preparation of agendas, minutes, and follow-ups;
Serve as a central contact point between the Liquid Biopsy pilot and the affiliated workpackages (EQA, data, HTA) and related project initiatives;
Prepare progress meetings and write progress reports.
