PhD project: Development of theranostics targeting the neuropeptide Y1 receptor

The neuropeptide (NPY) is a highly abundant peptide ligand in the brain, that can activate all four subtypes of the NPY receptor and is involved in various physiological processes such as food intake, stress response, anxiety, and memory retention. Furthermore, NPY signaling is involved in human diseases such as obesity, mood disorders, and cancers. In this project, we aim to develop a PET tracer that can image the NPY1 receptor (Y1R). Currently, there is not PET tracer available that can image this important target within the brain. When established, we will use this tracer to study its in vivo function and its connection to obesity, mood disorders, and brain cancers. Beside the involvement of Y1R in brain functions, Y1R is also highly overexpressed in gliomas. As such, it makes sense to additionally develop a therapeutic agent at the same time. This project aims as such to study brain related diseased and physiological conditions with new tracers and radioligands.

Supervisors: Associate Professor Matthias Herth, Department of Drug Design and Pharmacology and Professor Knud J. Jensen, Department of Chemistry.

4) PhD fellowship in Neuro-Medicinal Chemistry at Department of Drug Design and Pharmacology

Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences

University of Copenhagen

We are offering a three-year PhD fellowship in medicinal chemistry studies of the Delta receptors, which are a subclass of the ionotropic glutamate receptor superfamily in the central nervous system. Start date is scheduled to April 1st, 2023, or as soon as possible thereafter.

Project description

Ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluRs) are ligand-gated ion channels responsible for fast excitatory neurotransmission in the brain. Whereas the AMPA, kainate and NMDA receptors continue to attract much attention in neuroscience research, the Delta receptors have for decades been enigmatic by appearing functionally distinct from other iGluRs, as they do not exhibit typical ligand-induced ion channel currents. The Delta receptors are clearly important for normal brain function and likely involved in neurological and psychiatric disorders but are highly understudied since no selective tool compounds are known.

The aim of this PhD project is to discover the first selective tool compounds for studies of the physiological role and functions of GluD1 and GluD2 Delta receptor subtypes in vitro and in vivo (animals).

To discover such tool compounds, the PhD student must aspire creative thinking, be engaged in structure-based design, computational chemistry, retro-synthetic planning and execution, pharmacological evaluation of the synthesized compounds, as well as structural biology and isothermal titration calorimetry studies. Medicinal chemistry is an iterative process and the continuously buildup of our understanding of the structure-activity-relationship for the compound classes will direct the design phase and eventually provide the target tool compounds for the Delta receptors.

Eventually, this work will improve our understanding of the role and functional of the Delta receptors in health and disease, and thus their potential as novel therapeutic targets.

Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences

University of Copenhagen

We are offering a three-year PhD fellowship in Medicinal Chemistry commencing 1 March 2023 or as soon as possible thereafter.

Project description

Kinases and phosphatases regulate, in concert, phosphorylation levels by adding or removing, a phosphate group from biomolecules. Phosphorylation is key to normal cellular function and, subsequently, imbalance in phosphorylation level is involved in a multitude of diseases. The PhD project will be part of a larger project aimed to develop a technology platform for targeted modulation of phosphorylation. This will be pursued by development of chemical small molecule inducers of dimerization enabling proximity for a dysregulated protein and an effector enzyme rescuing the dysregulated phosphorylated state.

The specific PhD project will focus on development of heterobifunctional ligands for inducing phosphorylation on selected protein targets involving structure-based design, organic synthesis, and biochemical assessment. The work will be performed in close collaboration with pharmacologists.

8) PhD fellowship in Physical Geography

The Section for Geography invites applicants for a PhD fellowship in Terrestrial Arctic ecosystem BVOC dynamics. The project is part of the research project “AVOCA”, which is financed by the Villum Foundation. Starting date is 1 April 2023 or as soon as possible thereafter.

The project

Emissions of biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) from terrestrial vegetation are expected to change as a consequence of climate change. The abundance of emitted BVOCs is linked to climate feedbacks through their influence on atmospheric chemical processes and cloud formation. Recent studies of local emissions from Arctic tundra have now shown that this region has notable emission rates which may be highly relevant for our future climate.

AVOCA is a multidisciplinary project focusing on quantifying emissions of the most dominant BVOCs in Arctic terrestrial ecosystems. We will develop and apply new remote sensing techniques using data from unmanned aerial systems (UAS), satellite data, and field work to develop proxies for BVOC emissions. The project will e.g. explore the implementation of multi- and hyperspectral imaging from UAS for surface classification, estimates of photosynthesis, and for plant stress observations in natural ecosystems, as well as multispectral and thermal imaging for evaluation of surface moisture.

Who are we looking for?

We are looking for candidates within the field(s) of physical geography. Applicants should have a background within physical geography, ecology or biology. The applicant must have prior experience with field work planning in general, field work in the Arctic, experience with in-situ sampling of soil and plant material, and laboratory work. The candidate is expected to actively participate in the design of the project, and in the planning and execution of field campaigns and data processing work. The candidate should have experience in handling and analysing quantitative data related to natural ecosystems and climate. Prior experience with academic writing for peer-reviewed journals is considered an advantage. It is moreover an advantage to speak a Scandinavian language since field-work will be conducted in Denmark, Greenland, and Sweden. The candidate will moreover be involved in teaching material in Danish at the section for Geography.

The project

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia affecting more than 33.5 million people worldwide and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality occurring as a result of stroke and heart failure. Currently available therapies have inadequate efficacy and substantial adverse side effects. AF is characterized as being a progressive disease that commonly progresses towards longer-lasting AF forms. In this regard, structural remodeling, particularly cardiac fibrosis, is a major driver of AF progression. However, specific therapeutic targets to halt or prevent fibrotic remodeling are lacking, which makes management of cardiac fibrosis the largest unmet therapeutic need in AF. This project will provide novel and important insights in AF pathogenesis, potentially leading to the development of new treatment regimens for AF patients.

Supervision

Principle supervisor is Professor Thomas Jespersen.

Primary co-supervisor is post.doc Arnela Saljic.

We have a large collaborative international and national network, which nurtures the group’s talent and the impact of our research.

Our research

Our primary research focus is on cardiac electrophysiology and arrhythmias. We aim at elucidating cardiac electrophysiology and structural remodeling in health and disease with a specific focus on ion channels and their associated proteins and functions using molecular, biochemical, pharmacological, and electrophysiological investigations. We also aim to reveal and understand how disease states affect the electrophysiological function of the heart and its ion channels. Our goal is to incorporate in vitro findings into a whole organ context through the use of ex vivo and in vivo animal models.

12) PhD studentship (medical humanities)

The Department of English, Germanic and Romance studies, University of Copenhagen (UCPH), and the Centre for Culture and the Mind invite applications for one PhD studentship (focus on history and/or literature, and historical trauma studies), starting on 1 April 2023.

The position is funded by the DNRF Centre of Excellence, Centre for Culture and the Mind (CULTMIND).

The successful candidate will work closely with the Centre leader Ana Antic and will join a dynamic international and interdisciplinary research team, based at the Centre.

The Centre for Culture and the Mind explores the puzzling relationship between cultural difference and the human psyche from a variety of disciplinary perspectives: historical, anthropological, psychiatric, literary and psychological. It zooms in on the core questions about the universality or otherwise of the human mind, which remain as difficult to answer today as they were a century ago.

The Centre proposes that the issue of culture-mind relationship lays at the core of many social, political and medical debates: within cross-cultural psychiatry/psychotherapy, in trauma studies, and in migration and refugee studies. It explores how the human mind and common humanity have been imagined in different cultural, sociopolitical and disciplinary contexts, examining the assumptions and forces which shaped such definitions. By analysing how different cross-cultural models of the psyche were formulated and critiqued, the Centre’s interdisciplinary team aims to develop a new framework for understanding cross-cultural interventions and their politics, and to arrive at a more nuanced model of interaction between socio-cultural contexts and ideas of the psyche.

The Centre consists of four interrelated thematic strands: cross-cultural research in human sciences; cross-cultural notions of trauma and resilience; cross-cultural therapeutics and creative mind; and cross-cultural encounters and population movements (migration).

Introduction

PhD studies consist of research programmes that qualify students for independent and wide-ranging research, development and teaching at international level. The main emphasis is on PhD students organising and conducting their own research project (under supervision). The programme culminates in the submission of a PhD thesis, which the student must defend in public. The programme is prescribed to 180 ECTS points, corresponding to three years of full-time study.

A PhD opens up a range of career opportunities in academia and elsewhere. As well as writing a thesis, PhD students work in active research environments in Denmark and abroad. They contribute to the academic environment, take research training courses and convey the results of their research in teaching, at academic conferences and to the general public.

Qualification requirements

The PhD student will be a core member of the Centre’s vibrant interdisciplinary and international research team, and a core contributor to the Centre’s thematic strand on cross-cultural notions of trauma and resilience (as well as recovery and reconciliation). This strand focuses on cultural and psychiatric vocabularies of trauma in a variety of cultural and political contexts. It aims to offer a comparative historical analysis of how concepts of trauma, PTSD, resilience and recovery have been applied and translated outside the Western world, and how universalising psychiatric discourses of trauma interacted with broader cultural, literary and artistic narratives of emotional suffering and victimhood.

The successful candidate is expected to work both independently and in collaboration with the Centre’s research team. They should hold an MA degree in history, literature (and modern languages), anthropology or medical humanities. They should be interested in expanding their knowledge in the field of historical trauma studies, and in exploring different understandings and histories of psychological distress and suffering beyond Western scientific models.

The candidate will be expected to conduct original research in relevant historical archives and libraries, and to produce a doctoral dissertation focused on analysing how mental distress, healing and resilience might be imagined in different cultural and political contexts.

Within the Centre’s research team, the candidate will take part in broader intellectual and methodological discussions around the project’s goals and general directions. Experience with collaborative and interdisciplinary work will be an asset.

The candidate is also expected to take active part in the academic life of the department.

Background

The research group of Assistant Professor Junsheng Chen at Nano-Science center and Department of Chemistry invites applicants for a PhD fellowship in development of fluorescent nanoparticles. The project is part of the research project “Subcellular multiplex imaging with ultrabright fluorescent nanoparticles”, start in January 2023, led by Assistant Professor Junsheng Chen, financed by Novo Nordisk Foundation.

The project

The project aims at developing biocompatible organic fluorescent nanoparticles for bioimaging. Recently, we have achieved a breakthrough by developing the brightest full-organic fluorescent nanoparticles based on a molecular self-assembly approach, called: Small‐Molecule Ionic Isolation Lattices (SMILES).1 This gives us a unique opportunity to implement these bright nanoparticles for bioimaging. In this project, we will be working with the surface chemistry of the full-organic fluorescent nanoparticles. This includes: 1) developing and optimizing new SMILES nanoparticles with different emission colors across the whole visible spectral region and different fluorescent lifetime (nanosecond to microsecond); 2) developing new strategies to encapsulate the fluorescent nanoparticles that conjugate the nanoparticles’ surface with functional groups for targeting biomolecules (e.g. proteins, DNAs and RNAs): 3) using these ultra-bright nanoparticle with surface modification for bioimaging applications.

Our research project is highly interdisciplinary including collaborations with physicists, chemists, medical researchers, and biologists in the industry and at universities. Throughout the project, the candidate will be trained to be truly an interdisciplinary researcher in a creative and cross-disciplinary environment.

Whom are we looking for?

We are looking for a talented, highly motivated, and creative scientist who is interested in working with fluorescent nanoparticles for bioimaging.

The ideal candidate will have a strong material chemistry background, in particular fluorescent nanomaterials and bioconjugation chemistry are relevant topics. Experience relevant to the project topic and methods will be considered when selecting candidates. Relevant experience includes fluorescent dyes, bio-conjugation, fluorescence spectroscopy, DLS, TEM, organic nanoparticles, fluorescence bioimaging.

Our group and research- and what do we offer?

Light induced processes make the world bright and colorful. Furthermore, innovative ways of utilizing such processes have broad application possibilities in modern technology such as: bioimaging, solar cells, communication and photocatalysis.

Our group studies both the fundamental and applied aspects of the interactions between light and materials. In particular, we explore functions, underlying photophysics and photochemistry of fluorescent molecular materials and semiconductor nanomaterials.

We develop fluorescent materials and methods for bioimaging applications. We use femtosecond optical spectroscopy to reveal fundamental photophysical processes in these materials and provide a thorough understanding and guidance for developing new materials with improved performance. We carry our interdisciplinary research projects by collaborating with physicists, chemists, medical researchers, and biologists in the industry and at universities.

17) PhD fellowship in cellular and molecular signatures for forensic age assessment of granulations tissue

We are offering a PhD fellowship in discovering cellular and molecular signatures for forensic age assessment of granulation tissue commencing 1 April 2023, or as soon as possible hereafter.

Our group and research

Department of Veterinary and Animal Sciences provides skilled candidates and creates new knowledge in food safety, antibiotic resistance, animal models and welfare, immune system, and lifestyle diseases. The department covers a wide spectrum of animal and human disease biology in close collaboration with other departments at the University of Copenhagen.

The research group of veterinary pathology and anatomy is part of the section of Pathobiology its activities focus on the development of models for human and veterinary diseases in mammals together with the development of new diagnostic methods. This includes animal infectious diseases and welfare related lesions as well as laboratory related aspects.

Project description

The PhD fellowship is part of the research project Forensic age assessment of porcine granulation tissue funded by the Independent Research Fund Denmark.

Granulation tissue (tissue formed when wounds heal) is of decisive importance when assessing the age of the wound. However, the age assessment of granulation tissue formation both at the time of initiation and later is based on incomplete scientific evidence. The overall goal is to apply cutting-edge technologies to develop new and objective methods to obtain accurate age assessment of granulation tissue in forensic assessments. The PhD fellowship will be focused on discovering molecular signatures for age assessment of granulation tissue using mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) to measure proteins and mRNA biomarkers in granulation tissue.

MSI: Our aim is to investigate how the age of granulation tissue and the spatial location in the granulation tissue affects the expression of metabolites in the tissue. MSI will be performed up to the single cell level on fresh frozen granulation tissue. The molecular information will be overlayed with the immunostaining of stem cells to investigate the correlating cellular changes over time. The work will be carried out in collaboration with Assistant professor Eva Cuypers and Professor Ron Heeren at M4i Division of Imaging Mass Spectrometry, Maastricht University which is one of the world leaders in high-resolution molecular imaging of biological surfaces. The PhD-student is expected to stay at M4I for a period of 2 months.

qPCR: Targeted expression of hundreds of genes involved in inflammation, repair and tissue modelling will be measured in granulation tissue by low-cost microfluidic high throughput, real time qPCR. The work will be carried out at Technical University of Denmark (DTU) in collaboration with senior researcher Kerstin Skovgaard. The PhD-student is expected to stay at DTU for a period of 2 months.

Depending on the qualifications of the applicant immunohistochemical and FACS analysis of stem cells in granulation tissue may also be part of the PhD project.

18) 211-1309/22-2H PhD fellowship in Machine Learning for Biology

PhD fellowship in Machine Learning for Biology

PhD Project in Protein Representation Learning

Department of Computer Science

Faculty of SCIENCE

University of Copenhagen

The department of Computer Science, Machine Learning section invites applicants for a PhD fellowship in Protein Representation Learning. The project is part of the Center for Basic Machine Learning in Life Science financed by the Novo Nordisk Foundation.

Start date is expected to be 1 April 2023 or as soon as possible thereafter.

The project

We increasingly rely on learned representations to reason about proteins. Large pre-trained language models make it possible to encode raw protein sequences into abstract embeddings, and many classic Bioinformatics tools from the last decades are now being redesigned to work with such embeddings, often resulting in substantial performance gains. Protein structural data has also become much more readily available in the last years, due to advances in protein structure prediction, and embedding models conditioned on protein structure input are now also becoming available.

One issue that is still under-explored is representation learning and generative modelling of protein structure and sequence jointly. In particular for protein engineering, where we wish to understand the structural consequences of amino acid substitutions, this is an important open problem. The goal of the PhD project is to develop new strategies to address this problem. The project will explore techniques to generatively model protein structure, e.g. point-cloud, graph-based, voxel-based representations, and include considerations about rotational invariance/equivariance and other geometric constraints. Particular emphasis will be put on modelling the changes of structural topology induced by mutations (changes in the number of side chain atoms), and the corresponding change of protein structure (thermal fluctuations and larger conformational changes). Finally, the project will explore whether the representations extracted from such generative models can form the basis for more efficient (and interpratable) protein optimization procedures.

Who are we looking for?

The applicant should have a solid background in Machine Learning/Statistics, and is expected to have significant prior experience with programming (preferably Python). Applicants should hold a MSc degree in computer science, bioinformatics, statistics, physics, chemistry or a closely related field, or be in the final stages of acquiring such a degree. Candidates must have good interpersonal and communication skills. The group is international and fluency in spoken and written English is a requirement. As criteria for the assessment of your qualifications emphasis will also be laid on previous publications (if any) and relevant work experience.

Our group and research- and what do we offer?

The research will be conducted in the BioML group, which works on Machine Learning methods for solving biological problems - with particular focus on generative models for protein sequence and structure. It is headed by Wouter Boomsma and currently holds 6 PhD students and one postdoc, with backgrounds ranging from machine learning/statistics to biochemistry. The group is part of the Machine Learning Section at the Department of Computer Science, which provides a strong, international environment for research within Machine Learning and Information Retrieval, located centrally in Copenhagen. The BioML group is part of the Center for Basic Machine Learning in Life Science, and the PhD student employed by this call would interact regularly with the other PhD students in this Center. For details about the group, see https://ku-bioml.github.io.

23) PhD fellowship in computational CRISPR guide RNA design

A PhD fellowship is available in the Computational Biology and Bioinformatics research group (https://ivh.ku.dk/bioinformatics), Center for non-coding RNA in Technology and Health (RTH), (http://rth.dk) at Department of Veterinary and Animal Sciences (https://ivh.ku.dk/english), Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences at University of Copenhagen. The CRISPR field is developing rapidly and is continuously providing novel technological possibilities by several types of applications including gene editing and gene surgery. A key challenge is to pick the most efficient on-target guide RNA (gRNA) among several possible ones in a specific target region while taking the possible off-targets, i.e., unintended edits elsewhere in the genome, into account. This PhD project aims to make computational methods for on-target gRNA design while taking the off-target potential into account. The position is funded by the Novo Nordisk Foundation.

Start date is April 15, 2023 or as soon as possible thereafter.

The Bioinformatics group and research

The Computational Biology and Bioinformatics research group holds a long-standing interest in Computational RNA biology and transcriptomics but works in general on many different topics covering computational, algorithmic and biological aspects. Over the recent years CRISPR bioinformatics has evolved from the group’s interest in RNA-RNA interactions through gRNA-DNA interactions. The group is located on Frederiksberg Campus. Our research environment is highly international and stimulating. We are involved in organizing seminars, workshops, summer schools with international speakers and have retreats with our international collaborators.

Project description

The PhD project is focused on designing computational methods for gRNA design while taking the off-target landscape, developed by others in the group, into account. The PhD project will take outset in the in-house deep learning (DL) model, CRISPRon, to be applied on data generated by project collaborator Prof Yonglun Luo. The initial model will encode both on- and off-target data (as ranked by our CRISPRoff method) to predict gRNA efficiency while also being used for model-driven data generation of novel gRNA efficiency data by collaborator. The downstream computational models will explore machine and deep learning techniques for further enhancement, and they will subsequently be used to make a multiplex version to simultaneously target multiple genes taking their genetic interactions into account in collaboration with a project collaborator Prof Lars Juhl Jensen. Throughout the project, methodological advances will be incorporated in the available CRISPR design web interface.

25) PhD fellowship in Bacteriophage-Pathogen Interactions

PhD Project in Bacteriophage-based pathogen control in aquaculture

Department of Biology

Faculty of SCIENCE

University of Copenhagen

Department of Biology, Marine Biological Section invites applicants for a PhD fellowship in bacteriophage-pathogen interactions and the potential of using phages to control fish pathogenic bacteria in the production of fish in aquaculture. The project is part of the research project “Cure4Aqua”, which is a Horizon Europe project financed by the EU.

Start date is 1 May 2023 or as soon as possible thereafter.

The project

Diseases at the larval and fry stages constitute a major bottleneck and cause economic losses to the aquaculture industry, a problem that has increased dramatically with the intensification of aquaculture production. The project focuses on the important fish pathogens, Flavobacterium psychrophilum and a group of marine Vibrio pathogens, which are causing diseases in Rainow trout and European Sea Bass, respectively. Vaccines are not effective at the larval and fry stages, and antibiotics are needed to control these pathogens. Antibiotic treatment is associated with serious concerns about the development of bacterial antibiotic resistance and its potential transfer to human pathogenic bacteria. In this project we aim at developing alternative environment-friendly approaches based on natural microbial warfare, using bacteriophages (phages).

The PhD project will focus on key elements of phage-based applications in these specific groups of pathogens, including 1) phage-pathogen interactions and diversity, 2) mechanisms and implications of phage resistance, 3) phage production, stability and delivery, 5) phage efficiency in reducing pathogen load and fish mortality. This includes isolation and characterization of broad host-range phages from aquaculture environments, investigations of genomics, evolution, host range and lytic potential of the isolated phages, and optimization of phage production and delivery. Further, phages will be applied to live feed and fish fry in both lab- and farm-scale experiments with Rainbow trout and Sea bass. The work will entail a combination of microbiological analyses (phage Isolation, and cutting-edge molecular and bioinformatic approaches (e.g. Real-Time PCR, genomic sequencing, microbiome analysis), in association with laboratory experiments.

Who are we looking for?

We are looking for an enthusiastic and ambitious candidate within the fields of microbiology/molecular biology/aquatic biology and a strong interest in bacteriophage biology and phage-host interactions. Documented knowledge and experience on bacteriophage biology, use of phage in pathogen control and bioinformatics is an advantage. The position is open to both Danish and international applicants, and good English language skills will be required. The main criterion for selection will be the research potential of the applicant.

Our group and research- and what do we offer?

The successful candidate will become an integrated part of the research group of Professor Mathias Middelboe. We offer creative and stimulating working conditions in dynamic and international research environment, with recently renovated labotratory facilities and state of the art equipment for phage research.The group works with many aspects of marine microbial ecology, including deep sea microbiology and phage therapy, and bacteriophage genomics, ecology and potential use in disease control are key research areas in the group. We have long-term experience with phage-pathogen research, primarily focusing on phage-host interactions in Flavobateria and Vibrio pathogens. The project is therefore a continuation of previous projects on the topic. The Cure4Aqua project is carried out as a collaboration between >25 partner institutions, and part of PhD work will be in collaboration with Swansea University, UK, The Hellenic Center For Marine Research, Greece and the Danish Technical University, and in close collaboration with other Cure4Aqua PhD students and post docs from these institutions. The project will be carried out at the Middelboe Lab at Marine Biological Section, located in Helsingør, 45 km north of Copenhagen. However, research visits and experimental work at partner institutions are also part of the PhD program The section is part of the Department of Biology, Faculty of SCIENCE, University of Copenhagen.
