PhD in USA: Protein folding in vivo and in vitro

We are seeking highly motivated individuals with a M.Sc. or Diploma degree who would like to conduct the research for their PhD thesis in our lab (about 3 years, $28,500/year). The student can pick the starting date. Our labs studies protein folding both in the test tube and in the cell.  We aim to understand protein folding well enough to be able to manipulate it. We ask organisms themselves to solve protein folding problems. By examining their solutions we can better understand folding in the cell. We have developed folding biosensors that link protein stability to antibiotic resistance. They enable us to optimize folding in vivo (1) and discover new molecular chaperones (2). Protein folding in the cell is intimately tied to the action of folding catalysts and chaperones. We study the action of these folding helpers both in vivo and in vitro using a wide range of genetic, biochemical, biophysical and structural techniques (2,3). We have a lot of experience working with German graduate, master and diploma students and can help with the paperwork. Our lab is located at the University of Michigan, one of top five public schools in the country, which provides an excellent research environment. 1.

PhD position (m/f) in Molecular Biology and Chemistry - Novel delivery molecules for transcription factors

In the field of “ Branched cell penetrating peptides as control and delivery molecules for transcription factors ” the research group of Dr. Kalina Peneva at Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research   offers a PhD project. Description: We propose the design and synthesis of new and improved inhibitors of nuclear factor kappa light chain enhancer (NF-κB) transcription factor. This new approach is based on branched peptide sequences in combination with small organic molecule and non-natural amino acids. Numerous studies have shown that NF-κB deregulation is an abnormality in many cancer types and this constitutive activation of NF-κB has been directly associated in tumor genesis, invasion, metastasis and foremost in the escape of cancer cells from programed cell death. Additionally, resistance of cancer cells to chemotherapeutic agents can be partially explained by deregulated NF-κB activation, therefore NF-κB signaling pathway can be considered as a prime target for cancer therapy and drug development. The development of new peptide drugs has been largely limited by their short half-life due to proteolitic cleavage. Branched peptides have not only shown strong resistance to proteases and peptidases, but they can also enable multivalent molecules with a defined chemical structure to be constructed. Cell penetrating peptides (CPP) carrying a functional cargo will be utilized to control signal transduction-dependent subcellular traffic of transcription factors mediating the cellular response to different agonists. Different CPPs will be applied, in order to test their uptake depending on the point of conjugation, branching, number of charges and hydrophobicity. Small organic molecules – namely inhibitors for NF-kB like bortezomib or olmesartan will be coupled to the delivery vehicle. These functional delivery systems will allow us to study the influence of peptide concentration; charge density and the importance of the multiple interactions, over the efficiency, uptake and distribution of the drug, in order to create new inhibitors for NF-kB. We offer The possibility to work on a cutting-edge project using state-of-the-art technology in a highly motivated research team A stimulating, diverse and international research environment Advanced training opportunities A competitive stipend   Required qualifications Master or Diploma Motivation to solve complex biological problems Excellent communication skills   Starting date: 1 October 2013 or later Duration of stipend: 3 years, with the possibility of extension Deadline for applications (exclusively online via web form):  1 July 2013

PhD position (m/f) at the Department of Chemistry "Shaping of Nanotubules Formed by Amino Acid Amphiphiles"

In our group of Physical Chemistry / Molecular Material Science (Physikalische Chemie / Molekulare Materialwissenschaften at the Institut für Chemie at the Technische Universität Berlin (TU Berlin, Germany) we have currently an opening for a three-year PhD position (funding: 2/3 E13) funded by the DFG (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft) on the topic of Shaping of Nanotubules Formed by Amino Acid Amphiphiles This project is concerned with an in-depth investigation of the formation of selfassembled nanotubes made of peptide-mimetic amphiphiles (amino acid amphiphiles, AAAs), and involves molecular design and synthesis as well as the structural characterisation of their aggregates. The main focus will be on the formation of nanotubuli by these peptide amphiphiles as they constitute novel well-defined materials of high interest for purposes of drug delivery but also their formation is of fundamental interest for the understanding of several diseases, e.g. Alzheimers. It is a joint project with the group of Prof. Dganit Danino (Technion, Haifa, Israel), where the synthesis will be done by both groups in a complementary way. The main part will be the systematic structural characterisation, mainly to be done on the TU side by light, x-ray, and neutron scattering and by the Technion side by means of cryogenic-transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM). The Ph.D. position on the TU side shall be for a chemist or physicist having comprehensive expertise in the field of preparation and characterization of colloidal systems. He/she shall perform the experimental research work with a particular emphasis on the mesoscopic characterization of the nanotubes and their formation process by means of scattering methods (SLS, DLS, SAXS, SANS) and fluorescence microscopy and fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS). In addition he/she will work on the effects of incorporating amphiphilic copolymers into the nanotubes and thereby exerting structural and stability control by this way. Within the period of the Ph. D. work also two or three visits to the partner institute in Israel are foreseen in order to ensure close cooperation and becoming acquainted with the cryo-TEM technique.

PhD Student (m/f) Section Applied Stem Cell Biology

The National Center for Tumor Diseases (NCT) Heidelberg offers a highly interactive and collaborative scientific environment with a strong focus on translational cancer research. Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the most frequent cause of cancer related death in the western world. Understanding the regulation of self-renewal and differentiation of tumor-initiating cells (TIC) in CRC is pivotally important to eradicate malignant stem cell-like cells in human cancer and to develop safe and efficient genetically modified stem cell therapeutics. We have shown recently that tumor-initiating cells within individual CRC patient samples functionally differ in their potential to self-renew and that distinct classes of TIC drive long-term tumor progression and metastasis formation. Only these rare self-renewing long-term TIC maintain long-term disease and form metastases. The interplay between functional and genetic heterogeneity is unknown. Currently we address the functional and molecular heterogeneity within the TIC compartment of primary human colon cancers to develop genotype based eradication strategies directed against this most relevant cell fraction. Successful PhD candidates will develop and validate molecular strategies specifically targeting the tumor-initiating cell compartment of human solid tumors.

PhD Position (m/f) in Molecular Membrane Biochemistry

We are interested in recruiting highly motivated and creative PhD students to study the fascinating molecular organization of biological membranes. Our lab takes an interdisciplinary approach to this topic, employing biochemical, biophysical, molecular biological and cell biological techniques. Our lab focuses on the in vitro reconstitution of cellular membrane systems. Specifically, we use recombinantly expressed proteins and purified native protein complexes in combination with model membrane systems, including planar lipid bilayers (single channel electrophysiology), giant unilamellar vesicles and supported bilayers. In vitro findings are then explored in appropriate cell biology systems. Students with an interest in biochemistry, molecular biology, biophysics and cell biology are encouraged to apply. We are a young and highly motivated group offering projects with a broad range of techniques and integration into the international research campus in Göttingen, Germany. Students will be integrated into a graduate school at the University of Göttingen.
