Our @NorthWestBio1 PhD project applying natural language processing to virology literature is now open for applications: gla.ac.uk/postgraduate/docto…
Get in touch with if you are interested and want to find out more.
🚨 I have two PhD projects included in the @NorthWestBio1 DTP 🚨
gla.ac.uk/postgraduate/docto…
Both use Large Language Models to extract data from scientific literature. One is completely computational and the other has a mix of field, lab, and dry work
Project details below!
1/3
The first aims to identify novel antimicrobial compounds from seagrass microbiomes with @juliannemegaw @LDeClippele and Cindy Smith

This involves field work in the beautiful Scottish coast, high-throughput bacteriology, metagenomics, and NLP!
2/3
The second investigates the evolution and ecology of insect fungal pathogens with @L_Brierley and @MartaShocket
