Primary career market

• Public Sector, Education & Impact (employer-sector evidence).
• The Section of Bioinformatics, DTU Health Tech is world leading within Immunoinformatics and Machine-Learning.
• Currently, we are seeking a highly talented and motivated PhD student within the field of T Cell Immunoinformatics.
• Responsibilities and qualifications The immune system defends us against pathogens through immune cells specialized to mount precise and individualized responses.
• The dynamic behavior of the immune cell repertoire vitally determines health and disease outcomes.
• A key driver of this dynamism is the interaction between T cell receptors (TCR) and pathogen proteins.
• Considerable efforts have been devoted to developing computational models that predict TCR interactions.
• Despite these advances, predictive performance remains limited, and accurately characterizing TCR recognition continues to be a major challenge.

We hypothesize that this is due to three interconnected factors:

(i) the immense diversity of TCRs, (ii) the limited quantity and qu1 …
