MIMS - Welcome to MIMS

Open position: Postdoc in machine learning

Postdoc in Machine Learning: Semantic analysis of single-cell data
Single-cell analysis is the current state of the art in biology - tissue samples such as cancer can be separated into individual cells, which are then measured at depth using sequencing. Enormous amounts of data are produced, enabling precise investigation of the content of the tissue. The bottleneck is now the researcher, and exploring a single dataset can take up to one year.

Open position: PostDoc Project in In vivo efficacy of novel antimicrobials active against the bacterial pathogen Chlamydia

The Sixt lab at MIMS is looking for a postdoc to join the group and advance them at the field of Chlamydia research.

Project: The extensive use of broad-spectrum antibiotics is a major aggravator of the alarming spread of antimicrobial resistances. Moreover, it impacts patient health negatively by its devastating collateral effects on the microbiota. Hence, there is an urgent need for more selective treatment options. Using an innovative antimicrobial discovery approach, we have recently identified a set of compounds displaying narrow-spectrum activity against Chlamydia, a group of obligate intracellular bacteria that every year causes millions of cases of urogenital, ocular, and respiratory infections. The purpose of this project is to determine in vivo efficacy and selectivity of our most potent compounds.

Application deadline: 1 July 2022 or until a suitable candidate is found

MIMS Spotlight Series: Meet Fabiola Puertolas Balint

Written by Nóra Lehotai and Fabiola Puertolas Balint.

FPB 1 I had a chat with Fabiola Puertolas Balint who is a doctoral student in Björn Schröder’s group. Her grandfather left Spain for Mexico during the Spanish civil war and stayed there to start a family. Fabiola left Mexico to come to Europe for her studies. Where will she settle? That is still a mystery.
