About the Project
The Protein Research Group at the University of Southern Denmark invites applications for a PhD position in advanced mass spectrometry development, with a focus on negative ion mode proteomics to enhance bacterial proteome coverage. This project aims to improve the detection of acidic proteins, contributing to a better understanding of bacterial biology and unlocking new biotechnological applications.
Current proteomics approaches rely almost exclusively on positive ion mode, which leads to inefficient ionization of many acidic peptides. However, acidic and alkaline proteins are almost equally abundant in most organisms, highlighting the need to develop and optimize negative ion mode techniques. This project will advance the next generation of proteomics, bridging this fundamental gap and expanding analytical capabilities.
