We are offering a PhD fellowship in Immunology and Infectious diseases commencing 15 March, 2026
Background:
The Novo Nordisk Foundation Initiative for Vaccines and Immunity (NIVI), launched in December 2023, has a unique mission to harness airway immunity through innovative vaccine research and development to prevent airborne epidemics. NIVI has two parts:
NIVI-R conducts scientific research, while NIVI-D works to quickly turn that research into new vaccine candidates. NIVI-D accelerates clinical trials (phases 1 and 2) and ensures a smooth transition to partners for later stages of development.
By connecting science, innovation, clinical trials, regulatory processes, and product development, NIVI aims to streamline the journey from research to real-world vaccines.
Project description
Our group primarily focuses on immune response characterization against different pathogens. We use computational, structural and various biochemical techniques to understand molecular interactions of B and T cell receptors targeting the antigens. Our main pathogens of focus are influenza and Group A streptococcus.
This Ph.D. project will focus on characterizing antigen antibody interactions at molecular details for group A streptococcus infection. The aim is to develop and optimize biophysical and biochemical methods for high throughput characterization of monoclonal antibodies and study the effect of these antibodies on group A streptococcus infection. The methodology will involve high throughput Surface Plasmon Resonance, single particle cryo-EM and ML based protein design.
