Role of the stringent response to promote biocide induced antibiotic tolerance in Staphylococcus aureus biofilms.
The selection of antibiotic tolerant bacteria is of emerging concern and is thought to contribute to treatment failure. Our preliminary data supports the hypothesis that widely used biocides can promote such tolerance in the major human pathogen Staphylococcus aureus by activation of the stringent response. Read more
Do redox regulated post translational modifications lead to catalase moonlighting?
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and ROS processing enzymes and proteins have been co-opted during evolution into the regulation of plant growth, development and defence. Read more
PhD Position on "Anti-Stokes Cooling for Fluidics"
A PhD position is available to work under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Frank Cichos at the department Molecular Nanophotonics at Leipzig University on the development of optical refrigeration techniques for fluidic applications. Read more
Electrochemical synthesis of fluorinated piperidines
Piperidines are an important heterocycle that are frequently found in pharmaceuticals and blockbuster drug compounds. Fluorinated piperdines are especially interesting as the fluorine atom modulates the pKa of the piperidine and provides variation to the solubility, stability (metabolism) and potency of the compound.

Preclinical investigation of novel super-selective mTOR inhibitors in colorectal cancer
The development of potent and selective small molecules that mediate dose-dependent inhibition of a protein in its natural environment is essential to elucidate the role of such nominated target in normal and pathological settings [1]. Read more

Proteomic response to amyloid oligomers within a 3D Parkinson's disease model
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative condition that worsens as cells within the brain region known as the substantia nigra are lost over time. Read more
Imaging metabolic pathways in the brain using magnetic resonance spectroscopy - MPhil Scholarship
Methodologies for studying in vivo metabolic pathways in the brain have the potential to significantly improve diagnosis and treatment of multiple conditions including metastatic brain cancer, neurodegenerative disease or traumatic brain injury. 13C magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging has shown significant potential for the non-invasive imaging of key metabolites in the brain.

RNA biology in neurons and neurodegeneration
For cells to perform their biological functions, they need to able to adopt specific shapes and form functionally distinct subcellular compartments. Read more
Structural and functional analysis of DNA double strand break repair.
Eukaryotic cells have evolved complex molecular systems in order to detect and repair double-strand breaks (DSBs) of the DNA helix, which can arise from exposure to genotoxic agents or during normal nucleic acid metabolism. Read more
