Sub-project 10: Development of bioinformatic tools for the analysis of MACE data
Host Organizations GenXPRO (Germany)
Objectives : The ESR will be in charge of standardising pipelines that will be used for RNA-seq and MACE analyses by all the participants. He will be involved in performing next generation sequencing to characterise environmental adaptation. A single pipeline to analyse listerial transcriptomic and proteomic data will be developed and implemented by each partner for the sake of uniformity of all the data produced within List_MAPS. The ESR will be involved in the interpretation of transcriptomic and proteomic data for which pathway analyses and good data visualization will be required. A cytoscape app will be developed as visualization tool.
Expected Results: MACE analysis pipeline. Database. Transcriptome comparisons in selected habitats. Data visualization tool.
Duration (months) 24

11. Development of innovative tools for rapid phenotypic characterisation of intraspecific diversity of Listeria monocytogenes (Joint supervision PhD)
Host Organizations BioFilm Control (France) and GenXPRO (Germany)
Objectives
1. The ESR will develop an assay to test biofilm phenotype in a large array of food processing-related environmental conditions (salt, acides, disinfectants, preservatives) in BFC facilities. He will be in charge of the development and validation of an in silico virulence assay. This assay will target specific mRNAs in order to estimate the virulence potential of strains of L. monocytogenes. Transcript targets will be selected and tested by qPCR in GXP premises. In the process of validation, virulence results of several strains collected in a humanised mouse model will be compared with the in silico analysis. Once these innovative tools will be validated, intraspecific phenotypic diversity (biofilm and virulence) will be assessed on a collection of environmental and clinical isolates of L. monocytogenes. Genotypic diversity will be assessed under the supervision of GPX.
Expected Results : Adaptation of the BioFilm Ring test R to test food processing environmental conditions. Development of an innovative in silico virulence assay surrogate to animal models. Diversity results will inform stakeholders on the level of health hazard according to the strain. This in turn will help secure food safety all along the shelf life of foodstuff.
Duration (months) 36

PHD SCHOLARSHIP DENMARK

Fri, 13 Jun 2014 13:44:07 -0500

ne PhD position is available at the Bioinformatics Center, Department of Biology, University of Copenhagen, Denmark. The PhD position concerns protein structure prediction, and will be in the Structural Bioinformatics group of Associate professor Thomas Hamelryck. The group is an integrated part of the Bioinformatics Center, which is headed by Professor Anders Krogh, employs around sixty scientists (including PhD students) and focuses on non-coding RNA, eukaryotic gene regulation and protein structure prediction. The center provides a modern, pleasant, international working environment with excellent modern facilities, in the heart of Copenhagen.
The project will be supervised by Associate Professor Thomas Hamelryck.

The protein folding problem is of enormous practical, theoretical and medical importance - and in addition forms a fascinating intellectual challenge. The aim of this project is to develop and implement a probabilistic method to infer the structure of proteins, building on various probabilistic models of protein structure developed by the Hamelryck group. The method will also take the dynamic nature of proteins into account, and involves a close collaboration with the statistics department at the university within the interdisciplinary project "Dynamical Systems: Mathematical Modeling and Statistical Methods for the Social, Health, and Natural Sciences" (http://dsin.ku.dk/).

Qualifications
Knowledge of programming (C++) and statistics or machine learning. Knowledge of biology, physics or biophysics is a plus, but not a requirement.

The deadline for applications is June 15, 2014
