Post-doc position available in the Institute of Physical Chemistry PAS within the National Science Center (NSC), OPUS 23, Project no. 2022/45/B/ST5/01500, entitled “Antiviral nanoparticles and polymers to selectively fight phage infections without harming bacteria and eukaryotic cells”. Under the Leadershp of Dr Hab. Jan Paczesny. Phage infections are one of the most important in biotechnology […]
A new class of regulatory switches (C-switches) was discovered that uses the pyrimidine nucleotide CTP as a cofactor. C-switches are widespread in bacteria, archaea, and bacteriophages and play critical roles in bacterial growth and pathogenicity. However only a few are studied so far. Work on ERC Advanced Grant “C-SWITCH” using in vitro, in vivo and in silico methods, and […]
The Jenal Lab at the Biozentrum of the University of Basel is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow with expertise in molecular biology, microscopy, and/or phage biology to join their team. This position offers an exciting opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge research at the interface of bacterial signal transduction and phage biology. The research group […]
The D’Amato Lab of the Vascular Biology Program at Boston Children’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School is seeking a highly motivated post-doctoral researcher to join a team which is actively developing drugs for the treatment of cancer, vascular anomalies, macular degeneration and glaucoma. The group is dedicated to identifying novel targets, pursuing high throughput screening […]
Phages are important sources of biotechnological tools and can be used to combat bacterial infections. Phages have the potential to help overcome the ongoing crisis of multidrug-resistant bacterial pathogens. Research in the Hör lab focuses on understanding the molecular mechanisms of phages with RNA genomes during infection, host takeover, and anti-phage defense. Bacteria use defense […]
A Marsden-funded research programme investigates the molecular mechanisms by which a new phage-derived enzyme (an endolysin) interacts with and crosses Gram-negative bacterial membranes. Utilize biophysical, structural, and computational tools to elucidate these interactions and engineer novel antimicrobial enzymes. The Biomolecular Interaction Centre, University of Canterbury, seeks applicants with a PhD in biochemistry, structural biology, molecular […]
Understand the interaction and co-evolution between bacteria and jumbophages. This research project dvelves in understanding how bacteria use immune systems to antagonize jumbophage infection and how they evade such immune systems. The Yuping Li lab at the University of Basel, works on solving the fundamental questions surrounding evolution and interaction between bacteria and phages. The […]
Pavel Plevka Research Group at the Central European Institute of Technology are seeking candidates with expertise in virology or structural biology. The research project focus on determining particle structures and infection mechanisms of human picornaviruses and flaviviruses, and phages infecting pathogenic bacteria.
