Project Title:
Genome-wide identification of immunogenic regions in pathogenic organisms
The identification of immunogenic regions in target proteins is a key step in the cost effective development of new diagnostics, vaccines, immunotherapeutic leads for a variety of infectious-based human diseases and more in general for the rational selection of peptidic reagents for a wide range of applications in Life Sciences and Biothecnological research.
This research project will require the development of novel online tools and applications for the identification of both T and B-Cell epitopes on a genome-wide scale. The candidate will ideally have some programming/bioinformatics experience and/or a stong interest in learning and applying such techniques in the context of a basic research environment focused toward biomedical/immunological applications.
