We are looking for Masters Students in Bioinformatics!

We are currently looking for Master’s students in the field of Bioinformatics for the topic of Nucleosome footprints in cell-free DNA sequencing data Cell-free DNA (cfDNA) is released by dying cells into the surrounding tissues and also to the bloodstream. As nucleosomes protect DNA from degradation, plasma cfDNA carries information about the nucleosome organization in the cells of origin. Different characteristics of cfDNA are increasingly being used in the diagnostics of genetic diseases and the monitoring of cancer.

We are looking for Masters Students in Protein Design!

We are currently looking for Master’s students with a background in machine learning (or related computational field) for a project on Protein Fitness Optimization. Protein fitness optimization aims to improve a protein’s functionality by modifying its amino acid sequence to enhance a specific property, such as stability or binding affinity. There are various computational approaches to tackle this problem that enable in-silico pipelines to suggest new protein candidates. One of them involves generative models, which aim to capture the distribution of protein sequence data and propose new sequence mutants based on the learned distribution.
