Location: Autonomous University of Barcelona (08193 Bellaterra, Barcelona)The Systems Biology of Infection Lab aims to understand how bacterial pathogens infect human cells and how the immune system reacts to infection. Our main research lines include the study of bacteria invasion systems and the development of new antibiotics targeting host-pathogen protein-protein interactions. More information can be found in the group’s webpage: https://sites.google.com/site/marctorrentburgas/.
The open position is in the field of structural and computational biology. The goal is to use molecular dynamics simulations and machine learning to understand how pathogens rewire the host interactome.JOB DESCRIPTION
