project database, the largest clinical registry of patients with Myotonic Dystrophy Type
1 (DM1) in Spain.

INTEGRA-DM1 is a complex multiomics project and DM1-Hub is a national clinical
registry and research platform that supports clinical research, translational studies, and
real world evidence generation in DM1. Due to the growing volume and complexity of
the data, we currently need a professional with a transversal vision and strong analytical
capacity to process and analyse clinical data in order to support strategic decision
making, while responding to the evolving needs of the research group. The selected
candidate will lead the development of a digital application to enable the prospective
follow-up of patients, contributing to the construction of a natural history registry of the
disease through the systematic collection of a wide range of Patient Reported Outcome
Measures (PROMs). In addition, the selected candidate will give support to the ongoing
long-read genomic data analyses and lead exploratory studies combining omics and
clinical data in order to better characterize the generated DM1-INTEGRA data and the
existing DM1 cohort of the registry.

decision making related to the evolution and sustainability.
d) Respond to data-related needs of the research group, translating clinical and
scientific questions into analytical solutions.
e) Ensure data quality, harmonisation, standardisation, and interoperability of
clinical datasets.
f) Design and lead the development of a digital application for prospective patient
follow-up, enabling systematic data capture over time.
g) Implement and analyse a wide range of Patient Reported Outcome Measures
(PROMs) to support the study of the natural history of DM1.
h) Generate reports, visualisations, and scientific outputs for internal decision
making, publications, and project deliverables.

related to clinical research data.

QUALIFICATIONS AND EXPERIENCE

biomedical datasets.
d) Experience in designing and developing web and/or mobile applications (TRL 1-5),
preferably in a clinical or healthcare research environment.
e) Proficiency in data analysis, workflow architecture tools (Nextflow, Snakemake) and
programming tools (e.g. R, Python, SQL or similar).
