Noise-induced transitions in gene regulatory networks
Our world is full of noise sources at different spatial and temporal scales. The temperature and sunlight changes day to night. A receptor protein interacts with its target molecule undergoing Brownian motion. Read more
Structural biology of flavivirus replication mechanisms
We are seeking an enthusiastic and motivated PhD candidate to study the mechanism of flavivirus replication using a structural biology and biophysics approach. Read more
Disruption of nuclear envelope regulation of miRNA, enhancer, and gene loci positioning leads to aberrant development and disease
Research Group:
Institute of Cell Biology
Defects in spatial genome organisation are linked to human disease and it is speculated that most as yet unidentified disease alleles will occur in non-coding genome regions. Read more
Regulation and mechanics in polarity
Membranes and their protein organization are a frontier in our understanding of cell biology. We focus on polarized trafficking as a model to uncover fundamental mechanisms in the organization of structures at membranes. Read more
Methods for ultrasensitive and quantitative multimodal molecular imaging of vascular inflammation
About the project. Imaging agents enable researchers to explore animal models and investigate human pathologies non-invasively and secure crucial data to understand the onset and progression of diseases and conditions at the molecular level. . Read more
Tailoring plasma chemistry of cold atmospheric-pressure plasmas
Research Group:
York Plasma Institute
Plasma technologies already form a key part of many of today's multi-billion pound industries such as the nanoscale fabrication of microprocessors, energy efficient lighting, production of solar cells and the deposition of advanced functional coatings. Read more
Development of molecular simulation model for heterogeneous RNA and RNA-protein structures.
In recent years, it has become clear that RNA molecules play active roles in a variety of cell regulatory processes. In addition, RNA molecules have a great potential for therapeutic applications, as evidenced by the success of COVID-19 mRNA vaccines. Read more

Time Series for Mechanistic and Causal Models
Time Series appear ubiquitous in sciences and society, including financial time series, time series of disease spreads or time series of key molecules regulating the life and death of cells, animals, and humans. Read more

Systems-Mechanobiology of Cancer
Tumours naturally require the generation of mechanical forces to progress and to increase their malignancy. For instance, actin and myosin generated forces drive tumour cell migration during metastasis, and forces ultimately drive individual cells to divide. Read more

Mathematical Modelling of Cancer-Cell Transmigration Through Blood Vessels
Cancer rarely kills through the primary tumour in which cancer arises, e.g. the prostate in prostate cancer. Instead, cancer cells can travel through the vasculature and colonialize distant organs – a process termed metastasis. Read more

Control of Cellular Life and Death by Mitochondrial Dynamics
Rationale. Mitochondria are not only the energy factories of the cell, but also involved in regulating many other cell functions, including cell death. Read more
Funded PhD student position (f/m/d): Bottom-up assembly and optical control of minimal tissues / multicellular systems from the scratch (Biophysics, Bioengineering)
About us. The Zieske group is an independent research group at Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light (MPL) and associated with the Max Planck Center for Physics and Medicine (MPZPM). Read more
