PhD scholarship in molecular diagnostics and vaccine immunology of respiratory infections - DTU Bioengineering

Establish and optimize a fast pipeline for pathogen detection and microbial profiling from respiratory tract samples. Perform bioinformatic analysis of microbiome composition, pathogen signatures, and molecular biomarkers in individuals with respiratory symptoms. Characterize antibody glycosylation patterns and functionality in relation to vaccine-induced immune responses. Validate, interpret, and manage complex molecular, microbiological, and immunological datasets. Lead and contribute to publication of research papers and network with internal and external collaborators. Represent the work at conferences and scientific meetings. This three-year fully funded position combines metagenomic sequencing, bioinformatics, image-based machine learning, and antibody glycobiology within the Disease Systems Immunology Group at DTU Bioengineering.
