Funded fellowship opportunities in Algorithms and Bioinformatics
Through collaboration with colleagues in areas such as Computer Science, Biology, Oceanography and Statistics, researchers in the Algorithms and Bioinformatics cluster develop tools that have gained widespread use nationally and internationally. Read more
Application and development of bioinformatics and network theory methods in cardiovascular disease research and pharmacovigilance
To be able to discover novel drug targets we aim to develop software based on network theoretic approaches that are capable to identify mediators and pathways involved in the pathomechanism of various cardiovascular diseases by the analysis of datasets assessed with high throughput molecular biological techniques (e.g. Read more
Translating Deep Learning protein bioinformatics methods to accelerate structural determination by X-ray crystallography
Even after the AlphaFold 2 (AF2) revolution, experimental structural biology contributes enormously to advances across all areas of biology. Read more
Bioinformatics analyses of microbial communities and their genetic contents to understand the transmission dynamics and selection of antimicrobial resistance
Project Overview. Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) is one of the topics that we cannot ignore. Bacterial infections unsuccessfully treated due to AMR claim at least 700 000 lives per year worldwide and are projected to be associated with the deaths of 10 million people per year by 2050. Read more
RNA Splicing in Immune Cells: Mechanisms, Regulation, and Predictive Modelling (NDORMS-2025/3)
This DPhil project aims to elucidate the mechanisms of RNA splicing within immune cells, focusing on the computational analysis of alternative splicing events and their impact on immune homeostasis and inflammatory responses. Read more
Identification and characterization of disease-specific subsets of antigen-presenting cells (APC) in inflammatory arthritis
Inflammatory arthritis (IA) can result from non-autoimmune diseases (like crystal arthritis) and from autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and spondyloarthropathies. Read more
Bioinformatics studies of protein structures, functions and their interactions
The computational study of protein structures, functions and their interactions is fundamental to our understanding of disease. Read more
Using genome engineering and bioinformatics to understand heterochromatin and centromere function in Schizosaccharomyces pombe and in cancer cells
Centromeres are the DNA sequences on eukaryotic chromosomes that mediate accurate chromosome segregation at both mitotic and meiotic cell divisions. Read more
PhD positions in Computational Biophysics of Protein-Membrane Interactions and Lipid Metabolism - Fribourg, Switzerland
Multiple PhD positions are immediately available in the Laboratory of Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry at the University of Fribourg, Switzerland. Read more
Evolution of chemosensory behaviours in Drosophilids
Research environment. Our lab and the Department of Biology offer a friendly and stimulating work environment, with excellent conditions in terms of infrastructure, know-how, and collaboration. Read more
VariantVisualiser: Ensuring precise diagnoses of genetic disorders through the development of intuitive software that facilitates the integration and visualisation of complex informatics with biological and clinical data
Rare diseases affect. This proposal builds on substantial efforts of a Human Genome Organization committee which has proposed a unified professional-standard for representing genomic data which, when finalised, will be adopted world-wide. Read more
Investigating the regulation of neutrophil gene expression by intracellular signalling and small non-coding RNAs
Immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMID) such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) affect millions of people worldwide and cause debilitating and disabling musculoskeletal disease. Read more
Exploiting Deep Learning-based protein structure prediction for function annotation and structural biology
Applications will be reviewed until a suitable candidate is appointed. Protein structural information is crucial for an understanding of protein function and evolution. Read more
Systems immunology and multi-omics approaches to understand protective immunity to human malaria
This PhD project aims to develop and apply computational approaches that integrate systems biology and molecular immunology to understand host-pathogen immunity and predict immune control of malaria. Read more
