Position available at the new Dioscuri Centre for Structural Dynamics of Receptors
Dr. Przemysław Nogły, the recent laureate of the generous Dioscuri program financed by Max-Planck-Gesellschaft and the National Science Center (. Read more
Seeing photosynthesis at the nanoscale: mapping the properties of light-harvesting membranes by video-speed atomic force and fluorescence microscopy
Research Group:
School of Physics and Astronomy
Understanding photosynthesis could provide valuable clues for future solar technology and help our understanding of food crops. Read more
Neurodegenerative disorders
We are currently looking for a PhD candidate to work on the following projects. Understanding enzymes linked to neurodegeneration and antiviral defence. Read more
PhD Position (m/f/d) – Directed Enzyme Evolution
Applications for a PhD Position (m/f/d) in the group of Jun.-Prof. Martin Weissenborn are invited. Read more
Generating a disease model for Alzheimer's Disease in non-human primates
Our lab is interested in understanding and treating a devastating neurodegenerative disorder, Alzheimer’s Disease (AD), in particular aspects relating to develop appropriate disease models for AD. Read more
Funded opportunities at the Max Planck School Matter to Life
“What, exactly, is life?", and "Can life-like processes, functions and objects be quantitatively simulated, predicted and created in the laboratory?" – join the Max Planck School Matter to Life to explore these questions!. Read more
Geological Fate and Impact of Isosaccharinic acid (Geo-FISA)
About the Project. The nuclear fuel cycle has generated higher-level radioactive wastes that will be disposed of in a deep geological facility (GDF) that will provide multiple barriers to the migration of radionuclides to the surface over prolonged timescales (tens of thousands of years). Read more
Structure and function of Batten disease proteins
The neuronal ceroid lipofucscinoses are a group of inherited neurodegenerative disorders with primarily childhood onset. The most common form, also known as Batten disease or CLN3 disease, is caused by recessively inherited mutation in the CLN3 gene. Read more
Using novel ferronucleosides to study and regulate DNA replication in cells
Background. Replication of nucleic acid polymers like DNA is an essential process for all known forms of life. Furthermore, dysregulation and errors in DNA-replication are strongly linked with human diseases including cancer, as well as the process of cellular ageing. Read more
Fungal biosynthesis of compounds for enteric methane mitigation
Thirty-five percent of New Zealand’s gross greenhouse gas emissions are a result of methane production in our grazing sheep and cattle. Read more
Nanoscale boundaries: understanding size effects on the reactivity of ultra-small particles
Background. Nanoscience and nanotechnology explore the special properties and processes that occur in the nanoscale. the size range conventionally considered as 1-100nm. Read more
Mechanisms of growth and virulence in Mycobacterium tuberculosis and other pathogenic mycobacteria
Sequenced genomes of mycobacteria, including the human tuberculosis causing pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis, reveal a number of genes dedicated to lipid biosynthesis and transport. Read more
Epitranscriptomic mechanisms in the maternal to zygotic transition of vertebrate embryos
Research Group:
BBSRC MIBTP
Most mRNAs contain modified nucleotides in mRNA, but we know very little about their function (Haussmann et al, 2016, Dezi et al, 2016, Roignant and Soller, 2017). Read more
Elucidating the mechanisms of outer membrane biogenesis in Gram-negative bacteria
The emergence of bacteria that are resistant to available antibiotics represents an enormous and growing global threat requiring new targets and strategies to combat infection. Read more
Determining novel molecular regulators of necrosis controlling premature cell death
Necrosis, a form of premature cell death, is frequently caused by excessive insults such as trauma, infection and toxins. It has been implicated in many human diseases including cancer, neurodegenerative disorders and inflammatory diseases. Read more
