We are seeking a highly motivated Master’s student interested in the biophysical chemistry of food and biomaterials. We offer several potential thesis topics, and the project can be tailored to match the candidate’s scientific interests, background, and career goals.

Potential Thesis Topics

1. Molecular Modelling of Protein-Based Biomaterials

Protein-based materials offer unique opportunities for creating sustainable biomaterials with tunable properties. However, their broader industrial adoption is still limited by challenges related to performance, predictability, and production costs.

Our research focuses on developing multiscale computational models of protein-based materials, ranging from atomistic descriptions of intrinsically disordered proteins to coarse-grained simulations and machine learning approaches for materials design. The ultimate goal is to establish predictive frameworks that connect molecular properties to material performance.

For more information, see:

Nature Communications Chemistry article
Research Leader Programme profile

2. Molecular Interactions in Food Systems

Food materials consist of complex mixtures of proteins, lipids, and polysaccharides. As the food industry transitions towards more sustainable and plant-based ingredients, a fundamental understanding of the molecular interactions governing texture, stability, taste, and functionality becomes increasingly important.

We develop multiscale modelling approaches, from atomistic simulations of biomolecules to coarse-grained and machine learning models, to investigate the physical principles underlying food structure and behaviour. The generated knowledge supports the rational design of next-generation food products.

For more information, see:

NSF Food Innovation and Diversification to Advance the Bioeconomy

3. From Biomolecular Phase Separation to Products

Phase separation and aggregation of biomolecules play a central role in the processing and functionality of both food materials and biomaterials. The microstructure formed during processing strongly influences the properties of the final product.

Our objective is to understand how molecular-level interactions drive phase separation and self-assembly, and how these mechanisms can be leveraged to predict and control product properties. The work combines concepts from soft matter physics, statistical thermodynamics, molecular simulations, and data-driven modelling.

Population dynamics and emerging epidemics

Background of Project Doctoral Candidate 8
Enteroviruses are common human pathogens that cause infections ranging from asymptomatic or mild disease to severe neurological, cardiac and systemic illness. While some enterovirus types circulate continuously in the population, others show epidemic or re-emerging patterns and can cause large outbreaks. The factors determining when an enterovirus type shifts from limited circulation to epidemic spread remain incompletely understood. Population immunity is likely to play an important role in these dynamics. Type-specific neutralizing antibodies induced by previous infections can provide long-lasting protection, while susceptible individuals continuously enter the population. Consequently, immunity against individual enterovirus types changes across age groups, birth cohorts and calendar time, potentially creating population-level immunity gaps that favor epidemic emergence. This doctoral project will investigate how enterovirus circulation and population immunity have changed over time and whether these dynamics can be used to predict epidemic risk. The project will exploit the unique longitudinal resources of the Finnish DIPP study, which has collected biological samples from children since 1994, and integrate these data with healthcare surveillance, wastewater monitoring and historical epidemic data. The ultimate goal is to identify immunological and epidemiological signals associated with epidemic emergence and use them to develop predictive models for enterovirus epidemic risk.

Job Description and Research Objectives

At Tampere University, DETECTIVE is looking for a Doctoral Candidate 8 to work on Work Package 2. As Doctoral Candidate 8, you will:
– Characterize type-specific enterovirus immunity across age groups, birth cohorts and calendar periods using longitudinal serum samples and neutralizing antibody analyses.
– Investigate long-term enterovirus circulation in the background population and integrate these findings with healthcare surveillance and wastewater monitoring.
– Identify population susceptibility and immunity patterns associated with increased enterovirus circulation and epidemic emergence.
– Develop and validate predictive models for enterovirus epidemic risk by integrating longitudinal immunological, virological and surveillance data.
– Work with unique longitudinal sample collections and datasets spanning more than three decades and combine laboratory-based virology and serology with epidemiological data analysis and predictive modelling.

The project will be carried out within a multidisciplinary and international research environment, with opportunities to collaborate with experts in virology, epidemiology, bioinformatics, public health and epidemic modelling across the DETECTIVE network.

Supervisory Team
The DC will be supervised by:
– Adj. Professor Sami Oikarinen
– Dr. Jutta Laiho
Additional scientific mentoring and collaboration will be provided by:
– Prof. Heikki Hyöty at Tampere University
– Dr. Sarah Kempster (MHRA)
