PhD Project in carbohydrate and supramolecular chemsitry

The department of chemistry invites applicants for a PhD fellowship in supramolecular protecting groups for carbohydrate synthesis. The project is part of the research project European Network on the Supramolecular Chemistry of Carbohydrates (ENSCC) - a Marie Skłodowska-Curie European Doctorate Network (DN)funded by the European Commission (Grant agreement no: 101119492).

Start date is expected to be 1 September 2024 or as soon as possible thereafter.

The project In this project, we will use macrocycles, provided by members of the ENSCC network, for selective temporary protection of hydroxy groups on various carbohydrates. The substrates will be common carbohydrates with a minimum of protective groups. The temporally non-covalent “protection/activation” by the interaction with the macrocycle will allow for selective chemical derivatization of specific hydroxy groups, giving site-selective modifications. This could, as examples, be the installment of protective groups like esters, glycosylations or oxidation reactions. Initial studies will be performed using already available macrocycles, but in time, new types of macrocycles will be developed based on the results obtained. Some initial screening of host-guest interactions will be performed at UCPH and followed up by members of the ENSCC network.

Who are we looking for? We are looking for candidates within the field(s) of organic synthesis, with a background in carbohydrate and/or supramolecular chemistry. Experience with both synthesis and analytical chemistry is a plus. Good spoken and written English are also required.

Specifically, the candidate will work on:

• Synthesis of partly protected carbohydrates, that will be used as model compounds to study recognition and selective functionalization using supramolecular hosts provided by the ENSCC network.
• Synthesize new supramolecular molecules to interact with specific carbohydrates.
• Study the interactions and reaction outcomes by NMR spectroscopy as the main technique.
• Collaborate with researchers in the ENSCC network and participate actively in events.

Our group and research- and what do we offer? The group is a part of the section of organic chemistry, Department of Chemistry, Faculty of SCIENCE, University of Copenhagen. We are located in Copenhagen.

"FAIRification of multiOmics data to link databases and create knowledge graphs for fermented foods" MSCA-DN-JD Doctoral Network. The FAIROmics initiative, an interdisciplinary research programme, will gather universities, research centres and private companies to enable the FAIRification of omics data and databases interoperability and develop knowledge graphs for data-driven decision-making to rationally design microbial communities for imparting desirable characteristics to plant-based fermented foods in the context of open science and its regulations. The FAIROmics training programme aims to develop doctoral candidates’ skills at the interface between artificial intelligence, life sciences, humanities, and social sciences. Plant-based dairy and meat alternatives have grown in popularity in recent years for various reasons, including sustainability and health benefits, as well as lifestyle trends and dietary restrictions. However, plant-based food products can be nutritionally unbalanced, and their flavour profiles may limit their acceptance by consumers. Microorganisms have been used in making food products for millennia. However, the diversity of microbial communities driving plant-based fermentations, as well as their key genetic and phenotypic traits and potential synergies among community members, remain poorly characterised. Many data exist, but they are spread into different literature (scientific and grey) or, in the best case, in different databases. However, they are not always reusable because they are difficult to find and access and because databases are not systematically interoperable. Please note that this PhD position will lead to the award of a double diploma after the completion of a stay in each of these organisations: the University of Bologna (UNIBO), Italy and the University of Szeged (USZ), Hungary. Objectives: We are looking for one Doctoral Candidate (DC) to join our project at multiple sites in the EU with a master’s degree in a relevant discipline (Physics, Computer science, Mathematics, Statistics, Engineering or related fields) interested in learning and developing AI-assisted tools for information extraction from domain-specific scientific texts (journals, books, etc.) related to novel food engineering, microbial catalogues, fermentation, and other relevant processes. The information acquired and related semantic analysis will be utilised to build knowledge graphs and more general ontologies. The candidate will learn AI algorithms mainly related to Natural Language Processing and information embedding (eg word2vec, Transformer Networks, G-retriever) and connection of topics and keywords (e.g. through Network Diffusion processes), and within the context of FAIRomics will apply for specific case studies:

• Development of AI-assisted tools to enhance the yield of the research team in literature search and processing.
• Automatic and semi-automatic information extraction from domain-specific scientific texts (journals, books, etc.) related to novel food engineering, fermentation, and other relevant processes.
• Demonstrate the efficacy of the developed system, focusing on a carefully selected pool of previously collected articles and books. The information acquired and semantic analysis will be utilised to build knowledge graphs and more general ontologies, which will be used to enhance the method's performance and expand the knowledge base of domain-specific databases such as microbe collection catalogues.

Expected results: Expected is a prototype AI tool that can process a pool of documents by automatically analysing their text and retrieving topic-specific information in terms of key concepts and named elements and finding the connection among them. This supports the building of a knowledge graph and/or, more generally, an ontology according to the domain defined by the documents. The extracted information can be used, on the one hand, to find related documents or identify parts of documents for a set of user-specified concepts. On the other hand, extracted and processed information in terms of a knowledge graph can be used to incorporate new data into existing knowledge bases and data catalogues. Possibly, the developed tools will also be applied in other related contexts, e.g. social networks. Location and planned secondments: The first secondment will occur at the Department of Software Engineering, University of Szeged HU (Prof. Laszlo Vidacs), Month 14 (18 months), to develop automatic and semi-automatic information extraction and processing to build knowledge graphs and ontologies. The second secondment will occur at the Department of Computer Science, University Paderborn DE (Prof. Axel-Cyrille Ngonga Ngomo), Month 28 (2 months), to learn about state-of-the-art knowledge-driven data science methods.

"FAIRification des données multiOmics pour relier des bases de données et créer des graphes de connaissances pour les aliments fermentés" Réseau doctoral MSCA-DN-JD. L'initiative FAIROmics, un programme de recherche interdisciplinaire, rassemblera des universités, des centres de recherche et des entreprises privées pour permettre la FAIRification de l'interopérabilité des données et des bases de données omiques et développer des graphiques de connaissances pour une prise de décision basée sur les données afin de concevoir rationnellement des communautés microbiennes pour conférer les caractéristiques souhaitables aux plantes. à base d'aliments fermentés dans le contexte de la science ouverte et de sa réglementation. Le programme de formation FAIROmics vise à développer les compétences des doctorants à l'interface entre l'intelligence artificielle, les sciences de la vie, les sciences humaines et sociales.      Les alternatives végétales aux produits laitiers et à la viande ont gagné en popularité ces dernières années pour diverses raisons, notamment la durabilité et les bienfaits pour la santé, ainsi que les tendances de style de vie et les restrictions alimentaires. Cependant, les produits alimentaires à base de plantes peuvent être déséquilibrés sur le plan nutritionnel et leurs profils aromatiques peuvent limiter leur acceptation par les consommateurs. Les micro-organismes sont utilisés dans la fabrication de produits alimentaires depuis des millénaires. Cependant, la diversité des communautés microbiennes à l’origine des fermentations végétales, ainsi que leurs principales caractéristiques génétiques et phénotypiques ainsi que les synergies potentielles entre les membres de la communauté, restent mal caractérisées. De nombreuses données existent, mais elles sont réparties dans différentes littératures (scientifiques et grises) ou, dans le meilleur des cas, dans différentes bases de données. Cependant, elles ne sont pas toujours réutilisables car difficiles à trouver et à accéder et parce que les bases de données ne sont pas systématiquement interopérables. A noter que ce poste de doctorat donnera lieu à l'obtention d'un double diplôme après la réalisation d'un séjour dans chacun de ces organismes : L'Université de Paris-Saclay (UPSaclay), France et l' Université de Szeged (USZ), Hongrie. Objectifs: Nous recherchons un doctorant (DC) pour rejoindre notre projet sur plusieurs sites dans l'UE avec un master dans une discipline pertinente (Master en ingénierie, physique, biologie des systèmes, mathématiques appliquées, biotechnologie) intéressé par la modélisation, l'analyse et contrôle des systèmes biologiques dans le cadre des fermentations microbiennes. Le projet de thèse vise à développer des méthodes d'extraction d'informations (IE) pour produire automatiquement un graphe de connaissances sur la biologie microbienne impliquée dans la transformation ou la conservation des aliments à base de plantes. Le graphe de connaissances formalisera les molécules produites et dégradées par les micro-organismes lors du processus de fermentation. Les méthodes IE impliqueront la reconnaissance d'entités nommées, la normalisation d'entités par rapport aux références sémantiques et l'extraction de relations. Ils s'appuieront sur les approches d'apprentissage profond les plus récentes qui entraînent des modèles de langage en utilisant peu ou pas d'exemples de formation par transfert d'apprentissage ou en exploitant des informations structurées existantes, c'est-à-dire des bases de connaissances et des ontologies pour l'apprentissage à distance ou faible en incluant des informations pertinentes en fonction des besoins du Cas d'utilisation dédiés à FAIROmics (par exemple NCBI Taxonomy pour les taxons, FoodEX2 pour les aliments, ChEBI pour les molécules, KEGG pour les voies). Les corpus annotés existants serviront de point de départ à la formation (ex : CHEMDNER, Pathway Curation, Bacteria Biotope). Le projet s'appuiera sur les outils et ressources existants sur la biologie microbienne développés par les partenaires de MaIAGE (ex : application Omnicrobe*, ontologie Ontobiotope*, workflow d'extraction). Résultats attendus: Le doctorant concevra et évaluera des méthodes originales basées sur l'apprentissage automatique pour extraire des informations sur le métabolisme de la fermentation végétale à partir d'un texte. Les modèles et logiciels seront accessibles à la communauté scientifique sous une licence open source. Les connaissances extraites alimenteront un graphique de connaissances accessible au public sur les propriétés microbiennes. Les résultats seront publiés dans les principaux sites de PNL et dans les revues bioinformatiques pertinentes. Localisation et détachements prévus : Le doctorant sera principalement localisé sur le site INRAE ​​de Jouy-en-Josas pendant 24 mois et à l'Université de Szeged pour un détachement de 12 mois .
