Postdoctoral Fellow
Are you interested in studying metagenomic derived protein families and developing methods to interrogate vast collections of proteins, to determine pockets of interesting novel families? Metagenomics is transforming our understanding of the microbial world by uncovering enormous numbers of novel proteins. MGnify, one of the largest metagenomics resources, contains ~6 billion unique protein sequences. At the same time, artificial intelligence (AI) methods like AlphaFold and ESMfold can accurately predict protein structures directly from sequence.
