Institut Pasteur is inviting applications for PhD fellowships in Biology and Biophysics. The fellowship is available in the project “Identifying pathogenic autoantibodies in human patients using novel single cell technologies”.
About the project:
- Aims: 1) develop a method based on DropMap to label the droplets containing the ASC of interest, to allow their recovery and antibody sequence identification by RNA sequencing; 2) define the affinities of autoantibodies against platelets and their anatomical location; 3) sequence the highest affinity antibodies produced by ASC and study their distribution in vivo.
- Goal: Develop a technology to recover and sequence cells of interest to help in the understanding (and diagnosis) of a human autoimmune disease.
- Co-direction with the team of Dr Jean Baudry (ESPCI-ParisTech, 75007 Paris), and in particular Dr Klaus Eyer.
Starting date: Oct 01, 2019
Duration: 3 years (potentially extensible of 6 months to 1 year).
Requirements:
- Strong background in biophysics/biology required (ENS, Polytechnique, ESPCI, Mines, EPFL, ETH or equivalent), highly motivated to work between the two teams.
- Both are international teams with English and French as working languages.
Applications:
- Interested candidates should send their CV and letter of motivation to bruhns@pasteur.fr and jean.baudry@espci.fr
