PhD position summary/title: PhD fellowship in Physics of Life
The project focuses on quantitative understanding of the viruses infecting bacteria (bacteriophages). Our goal is to achieve a universal understanding of interaction between viruses and their hosts. Phages are key drivers of microbial ecology, gene transfer and microbial evolution. They serve an ideal in-vivo model system to study virus-host interactions. We aim to explore virus development upon infection as a dynamic and stochastic process exhibiting decision-making behaviours. We also study the role of phages at various scales, from population to ecological levels to investigate epidemics as it spread in 2 or 3-dimensional geometries. Our research integrates theoretical, computational, and experimental approaches. We develop mathematical and computational models to mimic, suggest and perform experiments on these fascinating systems. The position offers the flexibility to explore a wide range of topics driven by the candidate’s interest in bacteria-phage systems.

PhD position summary/title: 2 PhD fellowships in the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Innovative Training Network: Cilia-AI (European Training Programme for Deconvolution of Multi-scale Cilia Function in Health and Disease by Integrating Machine Learning-AI Approaches)
Project 1 (DC3): Primary cilia in congenital heart disease comorbidities. Genetic variants that impair cilia formation and function cause ciliopathies with pleiotropic, overlapping phenotypes including congenital heart (CHD) and neurodevelopmental (NDD) defects. Most patients with CHD survive into adulthood due to significant treatment improvements, although CHD adults have increased mortality and often present with severe comorbidities, including NDD. The association between CHD and NDD is not well understood, but unpublished data from large CHD patient cohorts suggest that a significant part of NDD comorbidity is caused by perturbation of cilia-related genes involved in development of both heart and brain. DC3 will leverage these findings by identifying the gene networks and ciliary functions perturbed by candidate genes involved in both heart and brain development using advanced imaging techniques, spatial resolved transcriptomics and cilia proteomics by proximity labelling in (stem) cell lines and transgenic zebrafish subjected to CRISPR/Cas9-medited gene knock-out. DC3 will pave the way for early diagnosis, support and care for CHD patients with NDD co-morbidities, and provide an opportunity for identification of novel mechanisms involved in development and maturation of both human heart and brain. Supervisor: Prof. Søren Tvorup Christensen, [email protected]
Project 2 (DC4): Dissecting the functional interactions between primary cilia, extracellular vesicles, and endo-lysosomal pathways. DC4 will use cell-based and automatic imaging approaches to investigate, on the one hand, how mutations in specific ciliopathy disease genes affect the subcellular distribution of relevant EV biogenesis/endo-lysosomal regulators (e.g. ALIX, STAM-HRS, TSG101) and, conversely, how depletion of these regulators affects ciliary membrane composition and EV release. Focus will be on kidney epithelial cells and the known ciliary EV cargos such as polycystin-1 and polycystin-2. In addition, to determine the composition of cilia-derived EVs, DC4 will use proximity-labelling approaches to biotinylate specific ciliary EV cargos in cultured kidney epithelial cells, isolate EVs from the culture medium, and use streptavidin pull-down and mass spectrometry to determine the protein content of cilia-derived EVs.

It is well-documented that the physical body changes through menopause. For most women, this involves a weight gain and a redistribution of fat, particularly around the abdomen. We are seeking a highly motivated PhD fellow to join our research team for a qualitative study on menopause, body ideals and weight. This project will explore the complex relationships between societal body ideals and the experiences of women during the menopausal transition, focusing on weight gain. The study will address significant and socially relevant issues from a social science perspective, preferable inspired by sociology. Topics may include the medicalization of menopause and (over)weight, the moving menopausal body, the individualization of body projects and personal idealized weight, the role of being physical active, and the balance between healthy function and fit appearance. Using qualitative methods, the research will delve into the nuanced bodily experiences of women in and through menopause. The recruitment of women will be based on a nationwide survey (KISO SURVEY) conducted by the research initiative, Women in Healthy Transition.

PhD position summary/title: PhD fellowship in Bioinformatics
Are you interested in becoming a bioinformatics researcher working with state-of-the-art methods and data? Would you like to do research that will deepen our understanding of the cross-talk between the immune system and the gut microbiome, and contribute to the development of novel treatments for IBD? Then this is the PhD project for you.
Crosstalk between immune cells and environmental signals from our diet and intestinal bacteria is essential for intestinal health. Alterations in this crosstalk can rewire immune cell function, contributing to diseases such as IBD. There are few effective therapies for IBD and many IBD patients do not respond to therapy or loose therapeutic responses over time, highlighting the need for new directions and approaches to disease management and treatment.
In this project, you will be working with suspension and spatial single cell transcriptomics data from the gut, as well as pre-clinical data from model organisms. The overall aim is to stratify the immune dysregulations leading to IBD. In doing so, you will be applying workflows with existing analysis algorithms and inventing new ones when necessary.

PhD position summary/title: PhD fellowship in Gut Ecology and Phage Delivery Engineering
During the last decade it has become evident that a range of complex diseases are associated with gut microbiome (GM) imbalances, amongst other metabolic syndrome, colon cancer, autism spectrum disorders, and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). This makes the GM an attractive therapeutic target for faecal microbiota transplantation (FMT), but widespread use of FMT is unlikely due to inconsistent treatment outcomes and the risk of infection by bacteria and human viruses that are transferred along with the donor material. Recent studies point at the bacterial viruses (bacteriophages, in short phages) as the driving element for successful FMT. The PhageX project is based on the bold hypothesis that phage transplantation not only can have same effect as FMT, but it can also be transformed into a reproducible production of safe phage therapeutics that warrant low risk of infection of pathogenic bacteria and human viruses from the donor material. Both in vitro simulations of gut conditions and animal models will be applied to evaluate the methodologies. Although IBD will be used as a proof-of-concept case, PhageX will open a myriad of possibilities to cure various GM-related diseases with minimal risk for the patient and thereby replacing FMT with a next-generation phage-mediated therapy.

About The University of Copenhagen, Denmark – Official Website
The University of Copenhagen is a public research university in Copenhagen, Denmark. Founded in 1479, the University of Copenhagen is the second-oldest university in Scandinavia, and ranks as one of the top universities in the Nordic countries and Europe.
Its establishment sanctioned by Pope Sixtus IV, the University of Copenhagen was founded by Christian I of Denmark as a Catholic teaching institution with a predominantly theological focus. In 1537, it was re-established by King Christian III as part of the Lutheran Reformation. Up until the 18th century, the university was primarily concerned with educating clergymen. Through various reforms in the 18th and 19th century, the University of Copenhagen was transformed into a modern, secular university, with science and the humanities replacing theology as the main subjects studied and taught.
The University of Copenhagen consists of six different faculties, with teaching taking place in its four distinct campuses, all situated in Copenhagen. The university operates 36 different departments and 122 separate research centres in Copenhagen, as well as a number of museums and botanical gardens in and outside the Danish capital. The University of Copenhagen also owns and operates multiple research stations around Denmark, with two additional ones located in Greenland. Additionally, The Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences and the public hospitals of the Capital and Zealand Region of Denmark constitute the conglomerate Copenhagen University Hospital.
A number of prominent scientific theories and schools of thought are namesakes of the University of Copenhagen. The famous Copenhagen Interpretation of quantum mechanics was conceived at the Niels Bohr Institute, which is part of the university. The Department of Political Science birthed the Copenhagen School of Security Studies, which is also named after the university. Others include the Copenhagen School of Theology and the Copenhagen School of Linguistics.
