Applications accepted all year round
About the Project
A PhD opportunity is available to join a research team investigating the role of cytochrome c in apoptosis. We have identified the only known naturally occurring mutation in human cytochrome c (see Nature Genetics (2008) 40, 387). The project will use a combination of biochemical and chemical approaches to understand the relationship between the oxidation state of cytochrome c, its peroxidase activity and apoptosis. The project will suit an enthusiastic and high achieving student with an Honours or Masters degree and a background in biological chemistry. This project is a collaboration between Dr Elizabeth Ledgerwood (Biochemistry) and Dr Guy Jameson (Chemistry) at New Zealand’s top ranked university for research – the University of Otago.
Funding Notes
Candidates must secure a University of Otago (or other) PhD scholarship and meet the conditions for enrollment in a PhD at the University of Otago (see http://www.otago.ac.nz/study/phd).
