PhD fellowship/scholarship “Germline-specific transcription factor paralogs in animal germ cell development and fertility”

/

Research area and project description: The research group In the Andersen Lab — Laboratory on Genetic Innovation (https://mbg.au.dk/pan), we study the molecular mechanisms of genome regulation in animal germline cells. Using Drosophila melanogaster as a model system, we combine biochemistry, proteomics, genetics, and genomics to uncover how germ cells regulate their genomes to enable sexual reproduction. Animal germ cells are the sole carriers of genetic information across generations. Recent discoveries — including our own — have revealed that germ cells exploit gene duplications (paralogs) of core transcription factors to fundamentally alter their genome regulation. Such germline-expressed transcription factor paralogs have evolved recurrently across animal lineages, are often essential for fertility, and yet the molecular mechanisms by which they reshape transcription remain poorly understood. The Project Recent discoveries have revealed that germ cells exploit gene duplications (paralogs) of core transcription factors to fundamentally alter their genome regulation. Despite being essential for fertility across species — from flies to humans — the molecular mechanisms underlying this paralog-based regulation remain poorly understood. This PhD project is part of the PARAGLIDE research programme (funded by the Novo Nordisk Foundation), which investigates how germline-expressed transcription factor paralogs reshape genome regulation to enable germ cell development in Drosophila melanogaster. The project aims to uncover the composition and architecture of germline-specific transcription factor complexes using biochemical and proteomic approaches, and to study the functional connections between paralog complexes. We shape the forward direction of the project together. The project uses the fruit fly as a powerful in vivo model for animal germline biology and benefits from a strong network of international collaborations. If you find this exciting, then apply to come help us solve how enigmatic transcription modes underlie animal fertility! For technical reasons, you must upload a project description. When — as here — you apply for a specific project, please simply copy the project description above, and upload it as a PDF in the application. Qualifications and specific competences: – Applicants must hold a Master’s degree (or be near completion) in a relevant field such as: Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, Genetics, Cell Biology, or Biophysics. – Applicants should have a strong interest in gene regulation, chromatin biology, or germline biology, and a motivation to acquire expertise in genetics, proteomics, and genomics. – Applicants must have good communication skills and the ability to work both collaboratively in an interdisciplinary team and independently. – Applicants must have proficiency in English, both written and spoken.

Position of Postdoctoral in T Cell Immunoinformatics

/

The Section of Bioinformatics, DTU Health Tech is world leading within Immunoinformatics and Machine-Learning. Currently, we, together with a leading external pharma company party, are seeking a highly talented and motivated Postdoc candidate within the field of Immunoinformatics and prediction of T cell immunogenicity. HLA class II antigen presentation is fundamental to T-helper cell immunogenicity. Over the past decade, this process has been well characterized, and robust methods have been developed to predict it with high confidence. In contrast, our understanding of the principles governing T-cell immunogenicity of HLA-presented peptides remains limited. This gap significantly restricts the utility of current antigen presentation quantification tools—both in silico and experimental—hindering early immunogenicity risk assessment during protein drug development. A deeper understanding of the mechanisms driving T-cell activation would represent a paradigm shift in biologics development. However, progress is constrained by the scarcity of high-quality, well-characterized in vitro T-cell immunogenicity data. In this project, we will leverage expertise and technology in peptide T-cell immunogenicity with DTU’s strengths in immunoinformatics and machine learning, to address this challenge. Our work will provide novel insights into the current T-cell activation assays and datasets, and enable the development of the first predictive model for T-cell immunogenicity of HLA class II-presented peptides in the context of protein therapeutics. If you’re looking to launch your scientific career at the intersection of bioinformatics and machine learning, this position supports a pathway toward academic excellence and research independence – whilst also offering a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience with a global pharmaceutical leader. Responsibilities and qualifications The project will be conducted in the inspiring environment at the Section of Bioinformatics at DTU Health Tech as part of the IML research group led by Professor Morten Nielsen. Your main focus will be centered on further developing the competences of the IML group within prediction of T cell immunogenicity and immunoinformatics in general. You will work with nearby bioinformatics, postdocs and PhD students working on other projects within the group and experimental immunology colleagues. As a formal qualification, you must hold a PhD degree (or equivalent). The successful candidate must moreover exhibit the following professional and personal qualifications: Strong background within machine learning learning, and immunoinformatics is a requirement Knowledge of the basic concepts of the cellular immune system or a background in experimental immunology is desirable Capability of taking personal responsibility for your work and your results Flexibility and a general positive attitude to changes Motivation by both individual and team accomplishments Strong communication skills in both written and verbal English We offer DTU is a leading technical university globally recognized for the excellence of its research, education, innovation and scientific advice.

Our research investigates the interaction between cardiovascular disease and vision and the impact of health and disease, diet, diabetes on dementia, hypertension, autoimmunity, vascular and inflammatory disease, to name a few. The research groups collaborate both internally and internationally on a range of prioritized multi-disciplinary themes in functional foods, gene-nutrient interactions; pregnancy and early life; healthy ageing, musculoskeletal health; drug discovery and delivery, personalized medicine and genomic medicine. The BMSRI has strong collaborations with regional and global pharmaceutical and diagnostics companies and many of our graduates and postgraduates gain employment in the government bodies, pharma, diagnostics, and health care sectors as well as academia and through self-employment. About The Biomedical Sciences Research Institute (BMSRI) offers a “state-of-the-art” research environment for high profile researchers to undertake internationally agenda setting research in strategically prioritized areas of biomedicine.
