Context
The selected person will work at Inria/IRISA, UMR CNRS 6074, among the Empenn U1228 team. The work will be in close link with a neuropsychologist from the Neurology Department ofRennes University Hospital (Neurology Dept.), associate researcher in the Empenn team.
Assignment
The goal of this approach will be to identify the pattern of progression using the Parkinson’s Progression Markers Initiative (PPMI) database, which is a longitudinal multi-site study of newly diagnosed untreated PD patients. To do so, the student will first analyze the functional and structural connectivity metrics at each stage. Then, the second objective for this position will be to look at how the integration of the functional and structural MRI data may allow a better definition of the brain change patterns that are related to classical pathways involved in Parkinson disease. After that, the student will develop a multi-stage approach using innovative machine learning methods, to provide non-invasive, reliable and easy-to-track candidate biomarkers for PD.
Skills
We look for candidates strongly motivated by challenging research topics in machine learning and neuroimaging. The applicant should present a good background in machine learning and applied mathematics. Basic knowledge in image processing would be a plus. Good knowledge of computer science aspects is also mandatory, especially in Python and Matlab.
