Job Description:
Applications are invited to apply for the position of Research Associate to work in the Group of Professor Christine Orengo at UCL. The project is in collaboration with other experimental groups at UCL. CATH is a comprehensive protein domain family resource combining sequence, structure and functional data for over 90 milllion protein domains. This project will improve the classification of domains into functional families and the exploitation of this family data and protein network data in the prediction of protein molecular functions and biological processes. Predictions will be tested experimentally through collaboration with Professor Jurg Bahler, UCL, using a yeast fission model of ageing. This project will investigate new ways of combining protein family and network data with other types of protein data. Various machine learning strategies will be explored. The role involves:
