PhD scholarship in veterinary immunology and vaccine development
Developing a multi-stage vaccine against paratuberculosis in cattle
Project description
A PhD scholarship in Veterinary immunology is available at the National Veterinary Institute located in Frederiksberg, Copenhagen. The Adaptive Immunology and Vaccinology group headed by Gregers Jungersen is engaged in studies of immune responses against various infectious diseases in farm animals and development of new diagnostic tests and vaccines.
In this project (granted by The Danish Research Council for Technology and Production Sciences) we collaborate with Statens Serum Institut, SSI, to formulate antigens from different phases of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP) infection into a vaccine with targeted activation of protective cell-mediated immune responses.
The specific objectives of the PhD student will be to perform experimental MAP infections of calves and characterise the infection and vaccine induced immune responses and the short-term protective efficacy of the vaccine. Specific attention will be paid to a characterization of the cell-mediated immune responses employing polychromatic FACS analysis, ELISPOT and other relevant techniques. The employment is expected to start August 3rd 2009.

Dear Sir/Madam,
My name is Dr. Fufa Abunna Kurra, Ethiopian. This is my application for the graduate opportunity of the Doctoral Programs Scholarship. I have got a degree of Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) in July 1999 and degree of Masters of Science (MSc) in August 2006 from Addis Ababa University, Ethiopia. Currently, I am delivering lectures veterinary medicine and Biology students of the University at an Assistant Professor position.
My main motivation for applying to the Doctoral Program in the Veterinary immunology and vaccine development is my past unfulfilled passion to advance in this issue. Therefore, I have strong interest to upgrade my education in the field of Veterinary immunology and vaccine development aspects related to it by approaching some novel methods and protocols for the improvement of Veterinary immunology and vaccine development. As to my career objective, I have a dream that I become an asset for my country in improving livestock production and productivity via creating good environment for breeding and genetics research, understanding Veterinary immunology and vaccine development parameters of and its application. This could help me to contribute to the development process in my country and filling the gap of skilled man power in the area of this field since my University is the newly established Universities by the Ethiopian government.
Your institute can thus help me in realizing my dreams. As past my career it also adds knowledge and confidence in my current job. Above all, it is a good opportunity to exchange knowledge with colleagues abroad and hence, I can appreciate the knowledge gap and unfulfilled passions that I have. The scholarship also inspires me to exploit untouched potential that was not used due to lack of access to use it and develop into new thinking on the current situation in my work area and country at large.
I hope I will be considered as an applicant and beneficiary of institute of Doctoral Program in the Veterinary immunology and vaccine development. I know that admission to the program is competitive, but I am qualified and eager, and cope with all of its challenges. I am looking forward to hearing your response soon.
Lastly, I would like to extend my gratitude to your office for giving this opportunity for such students like me. It is so inspiring being motivated by passion, generated by vision, produced by conviction and ignited by purpose.
Yours sincerely,
Fufa Abunna (Dr.)
