The work will be conducted at the Division of Affinity Proteomics in close collaboration with the Wallenberg AI, Autonomous Systems and Software Program (WASP), and the Human Protein Atlas project (www.proteinatlas.org). The student will interact with an interdisciplinary environment of research engineers, PhD students, postdocs, and researchers. The placement will be at Science for Life Laboratory, a national center for molecular biosciences with a focus on health and environmental research.
