Project

The human gut microbiome is a complex ecosystem consisting of hundreds of species interacting with one another and with the host. Its composition is not only shaped by species interactions and host characteristics but also by the environment of the host, in particular the host’s social network. In this project, we want to study how the interplay between local conditions and the social network shapes host microbiota. For this, we plan to mimic social networks in vitro, to fully control local conditions, migration rates and the structure of the network. We will also work with previously established synthetic gut communities to be better able to represent our observations in a mathematical model. Such a model will enable predictions and the exploration of additional scenarios.  To implement this project, the successful candidate will have access to state-of-the-art anaerobic culturing equipment.

Profile

The candidate should have a solid background in microbiology and molecular biology, enjoy wet lab work, be able to work independently and be passionate about microbial ecology. Experience with anaerobic culturing techniques, flow cytometry, 16S rRNA gene sequencing or mathematical modelling is a plus. Applicants should have a master’s degree in microbiology, molecular biology, bioscience or (bio)chemical engineering, biotechnology or equivalent with at least a distinction, obtained in September 2024 at the latest. A proof of proficiency in English is a requirement.

Project description
Extremely premature infants, which are born before the 28th week of gestation and weighing <1,000 grams, are a highly vulnerable patient group. They frequently experience early-life brain injury that can lead to life-long neurological impairments. Recent research suggests that the gut microbiome can affect the immune system and brain development. As the neonatal gut microbiota-immune-brain axis is important in both short- and long-term neurological diseases, it is a promising target for early-life therapeutic intervention. In order to achieve this, a deeper understanding of the interplay between the microbiome, the immune system, and the brain in early life is urgently needed. This project aims to determine how dysfunction in the gut microbiota-immune-brain axis in extremely premature infants contributes to brain damage and long-term cognitive impairment. The molecular mechanisms underlying the etiology of these neurodevelopmental issues will be addressed in three project areas focused on the components of the axis: the gut microbiome, immune system, and brain.

The NeoGIBA project will take a stepwise, bottom-up approach to test how the gut communicates with the brain using cutting-edge model systems. Promising leads will be integrated in pre-clinical models to test novel intervention strategies. Specifically, we will

We are looking for a highly motivated PhD candidate to develop, coordinate, and carry out the multidisciplinary project above. The candidate will be supervised by David Berry and will work in a team with other PhD students as well as Clarissa Campbell (host-microbe interactions and immunology, Centre for Molecular Medicine), Isabella Wagner (cognitive neuroscience, University of Vienna), Benedikt Warth (systems biology and metabolomics, University of Vienna), and Lukas Wisgrill (immunology and neonatology, Medical University of Vienna).

The candidate will be responsible for characterizing the microbiome and metabolome of extremely premature neonates using genome-resolved metagenomics and untargeted metabolomics. Additionally, they will characterize the physiology and ecology of isolates of the core gut microbiome. These results should provide insights into the function and assembly of the neonatal gut microbiota and serve as the basis for other work in the research team. Specifically, they will shed light onto the importance of species-specific physiological tolerances and capabilities as well as ecological interactions in determining microbiota assembly and succession. Additionally, they will inform practical strategies for promoting potentially beneficial microbes and conferring colonization resistance against important early-life enteric pathogens including Klebsiella pneumoniae and other pathobionts and immunomodulatory microbes.

The ideal candidate should meet the following criteria: background in microbiology, molecular biology, or related fields; experience working in a microbiology or molecular biology laboratory; programming skills (e.g., Python, R) and motivation to expand those; excellent written and spoken English; excellent skills in project planning and independency in problem-solving; ability to work in a multidisciplinary, international team.

Experience with experimental design and gut microbiome analysis is strongly desired.

Post-doc position 1 (two years): Deciphering the role of insertion elements in microbial community adaptation to anthropogenic environmental changes (Bilateral Flanders-China FWO project).
Horizontal gene transfer plays an essential role in the adaptation of microbial communities to anthropogenic environmental changes. Typical examples are adaptations that confer antibiotic resistance, metal resistance and catabolism of xenobiotic organic pollutants. Among the vehicles that govern HGT are conjugative elements and insertion sequence (IS) elements. Conjugative elements such as plasmids transfer the adaptive gene functions between different organisms while IS elements are thought to play an essential role in the acquisition of the adaptive traits by the conjugative elements as such making recruited traits prone to lateral transfer. While much information exists on the molecular mechanisms of IS transposition and IS mediated gene acquisition, less information exist, and this in contrast to plasmids, about the contribution of IS elements to HGT and microbial adaptation in a wider community context. The project aims to acquire a better understanding of the role of IS elements in genetic adaptation at the community level and the anthropogenic environmental drivers underlying IS mediated gene recruitment and HGT in complex communities. Using targeted metagenomics and innovative experimental design, it will examine the abundances and genetic cargo of specific IS elements in freshwater environments in Europe and China, and will explore their relationships with environmental parameters and anthropogenic selective pressures. In addition, the project foresees the development and application of genetic tools enabling monitoring of IS mediated gene recruitment using state-of-the-art genetic engineering approaches. This project makes part of a bilateral collaborative research project with Prof. Su Jian-Qiang of the Institute of Urban Environment, Chinese Academy of Sciences and a research stay is foreseen in the lab in China. The selected candidate will work closely with three currently on-going PhDs in the research group and with the successful candidate of post-doc position 2.

Candidates must have a PhD degree in either environmental microbiology with expertise in metagenomics and microbial community composition analysis using high-throughput state-of-the-art sequencing approaches and relevant bio-informatics (including relevant wet-lab work) AND/OR in genomics, genetic engineering and related bioinformatics tools. Candidates must be also fluent in English.

Post-doc position 2 (three years): Microbial community dynamics and role of mobile genetic elements in Managed Aquifer Recharge systems for groundwater restoration (ERA-NET EU project MARSURE).
Managed aquifer recharge (MAR) refers to the purposeful recharge of water to aquifers for subsequent recovery, to increase groundwater availability and improve water quality while preventing resource deterioration. During MAR, water is infiltrated through soil and aquifer sediments, improving water quality. Although MAR is an established technology, the underlying microbial, geo-chemical, and hydrological processes during subsurface passage are not entirely understood, which limits predictions of expected water quality improvements. The ERA-NET EU project MARSURE aims at implementing and understanding next-generation hybrid MAR systems for groundwater restoration taking advantage of a range of controlled reactions and sequential multi-barrier pre- and in situ treatment concepts to achieve the needed reduction of pollutants while maintaining a low carbon footprint with no waste production including nutrients, trace metals, organic pollutants, pathogens, and antibiotic resistance genes (ARG). The project involves 7 partners from 6 EU countries. In the project, the KU Leuven group is responsible for tracking the microbial community dynamics in the MAR systems including composition and functionality, as a response to the implemented treatment conditions. The microbial community composition in MAR samples will be determined by Illumina 16SrRNA gene amplicon and metagenomic sequencing, identifying potential pathogenic taxa. The metagenomic data will also identify functionalities such as pollutant degradation, ARGs, pathogenic features. Special attention will be given to specific mobile genetic elements as accelerators of genetic adaptation and the traits they carry using targeted metagenomics. The selected candidate will work closely together with the other partners in the project performing the operation and management of the MAR systems at laboratory and pilot scale. The selected candidate will also work closely with three currently on-going PhDs in the research group and with the successful candidate of post-doc position 1.

Candidates must have a PhD degree in environmental microbiology with expertise in metagenomics and microbial community composition analysis using a combination of wet-lab work and high-throughput state-of-the-art sequencing approaches and relevant bio-informatics. The candidates must be fluent in English and have strong communication and organisatory skills.

Protein-based chelators for targeted radionuclide therapy. Short-lived, radioactive lanthanides are attractive radioisotopes for targeted radionuclide therapy, which is a rapidly growing class of cancer treatment. To deliver such isotopes to the target cancer cells, they must be appended, i.e. chelated, to carriers that target antigens overexpressed on the target cancer cell’s surface. For the production of such radiopharmaceuticals, it is highly desirable to use chelating molecules that can capture large radioisotopes with high specificity and stability under mild temperature and pH conditions, leaving the carrier protein molecule and target binding capacity intact. Here, we aim to improve the development of radiopharmaceuticlas via implementing and benchmarking protein-based alternatives to the currently used synthetic chemical chelators. As additional innovation, these protein-based alternatives will be directly fused to proteinous carriers (e.g. peptides or nanobodies), produced recombinantly and benchmarked.Both innovative approaches provide unique possibilities for targeted radionuclide therapy.

Biosynthetic toolboxes for the extraction of radionuclides. Short-lived radioactive lanthanides are attractive radioisotopes for targeted radionuclide therapy, which is a rapidly growing class of cancer treatment. The development of such radiopharmaceuticals evidently relies on the production of these radioisotopes and generates particular waste streams. Although both are routine and established practices, researchers are exploring novel approaches as an alternative to extract or recover radionuclides in order to circumvent current drawbacks. This involves developing and using specially engineered microorganisms that are modified to bind to the desired elements. By selecting or engineering the right bacterial strains, highly specific and efficient extraction systems can be obtained. In this project, different biosynthetic toolboxes will be developed and compared. A synthetic approach will be used in order to engineer the desirable features, i.e. radionuclide-binding, on the surface of different microorganisms. The developed tools will be assessed side-by-side and their potential to quantitatively and selectively recover radionuclides will be evaluated. This innovative approach will allow optimizing the product life cycle and will contribute to the successful implementation of targeted radionuclide therapy. In addition, the use of microorganisms in element extraction/recovery is part of a broader trend toward sustainable and environmentally responsible sourcing of critical materials.

Emerging contaminants, particularly endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) have been increasingly detected in the environment and the organisms. The interactions between EDCs and the human gut microbiome — a modulator of host health that is composed of microorganisms along with their genes — are largely unknown. Uncovering multifaceted EDC ecotoxicity will expand the knowledge on their long-term harmful impacts on humans as super-organisms with their microbiome. Without establishing this critical link, the detrimental impacts of EDCs on public health would remain partially described. The proposed PhD project aims to develop nutritional strategies that may have the potential to protect the gut microbiome from EDC toxicity.
