Project: Exploring Novel Variants of Antimicrobial Peptides of Therapeutic Relevance Against AMR
Summary: Ashoka University is seeking motivated individuals for Project Assistant and Postdoctoral Fellow positions in the fields of Computational Biology, Bioinformatics, and Immunology. These roles are part of a collaborative project aimed at identifying and analyzing novel antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) for therapeutic applications against multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogens.
Job Description: The project focuses on the structural and functional characterization of AMPs and the identification of complementary molecules for antimicrobial cocktails. The work involves the use of large language models (LLMs) and comparative bioinformatics, followed by in-silico modelling. The positions are available in Dr. Imroze Khan’s laboratory at Ashoka University.
Responsibilities:
- Analyze big genomic, metagenomic, or proteomic datasets.
