PhD Opportunity in Data Science for Medicine
Human Technopole is looking for a curious, driven, and collaborative PhD candidate to join the Research group lead by Fernanda Pinheiro as part of the EU-funded ENDAMR (Exploring Novel Drivers of Antimicrobial Resistance), a Marie Skłodowska Curie Actions (MSCA) Doctoral Network. This PhD project will develop mechanistic models grounded on microbial physiology to understand how interactions among mutually dependent bacteria influence antibiotic tolerance, community-level perturbations and evolutionary trajectories toward antimicrobial resistance.
We’re seeking someone with a background in bioinformatics, data science, computer science, or applied mathematics who is excited about applying computational tools to advance biomedical research.
- Location: Milan, Italy
- Duration: 3 years, fully funded (Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions)
- Deadline: 23 May 2025

How the human genome condenses during cell division
As a result of an international collaboration, Human Technopole researchers identify M18BP1 as an activator of condensin II through a phosphorylation-regulated competition with MCPH1. This previously unknown mechanism fills a significant gap in our understanding of cell division and suggests avenues for exploring how its misregulation contributes to human disease. The results of the research are published in Molecular Cell.
