KU – SUND – Kbh O
Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of CopenhagenWe are looking for a highly motivated and ambitious bioinformatician / data scientist / Machine Learning specialist for a three-year Postdoc commencing 1 October 2024 or as soon as possible thereafter.Our departmentDepartment of Drug Design and Pharmacology is committed to research-based teaching and interdisciplinary research that supports the development and understanding of chemical and pharmacological properties of drugs and drug targets. We work as part of a dynamic academic community of research, education and innovation within the Pharmaceutical Sciences bridging Health Sciences and Life Sciences.Information about the Department can be found atOur group and researchThe “Data Science for Drug Design” (DSDD) research group is dedicated to the development and application of cutting-edge and data-driven technologies to advance network medicine. The DSDD group has a broad expertise encompassing structural bioinformatics, cheminformatics, computer-aided drug discovery & design, research tool/database development and applying machine learning/AI approaches. The research conducted within our research groups revolves around three primary pillars:
1600 unique users per month. * Protein signaling networks: our second pillar delves into the analysis, simulation, modeling, and prediction of protein signaling networks. This endeavor aims to enhance our comprehension of protein-protein interactions, with a specific emphasis on ultimately understanding the regulation and deregulation of these processes.
Your job
The position is part of a research project generously funded by the Carlsberg Foundation entitled “Look who’s talking: decoding protein-protein dialogue using ChatGPT”.WHAT? Inside every cell of any organism, hundreds to thousands of distinct proteins are constantly interacting with each other. Together, this dialogue between proteins determine virtually every facet of cellular behaviour and function.WHY? Despite the fundamental importance of these protein-protein interactions, we still do not fully understand this dialogue between proteins. Some of the open questions are: Which proteins are interacting which each other? How do they know who to interact with? How do they precisely interact with each other? And why do they interact with each other?HOW? The recent breakthroughs in large language models, such as the well-known example of ChatGPT, have astounded the world by its broad applicability and accurate interpretation of human and even programming languages. In this project, you will build and apply ChatGPT-like models to figure out which proteins are talking to each other and how.Profile
