The Toulouse Biotechnology Institute (TBI)announces a PhD positionin the field of human gut microbiomics and enzymology.
The position is part of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Doctoral Network (MSCA-DN) in the frame of the European project MetaExplore, coordinated by the University of Cambridge (UK) (https://metaexplore.eu/ ). MetaExplore has been set up to provide young researchers with hands‑on research experience and formal training in directed evolution, protein engineering, bioinformatics, chemical biology and mechanistic enzymology. In MetaExplore, 10 leading academic groups and 2 industrial partners will work together to train 15 Doctoral Candidates, alongside 9 companies and universities as associated partners and advisors.
The thesis project will be focused on the intestinal microbiota. This complex ecosystem is mainly composed of uncultured bacteria, harvesting on host and dietary glycosides thanks to a large panel of carbohydrate active enzymes (CAZymes). In this project, the human gut microbiome will be screened using droplet‑microfluidics for functions of human glycoside metabolization. The molecular bases of the specificity of the identified transporters and CAZymes towards human glycosides will then be determined, by combining functional and structural analyses.
