Overview
Central European Institute of Technology (CEITEC) in Brno, Czech Republic offers several PhD positions in the field of structural biology. Researchers of the programme focus on protein structure and dynamics, structural virology, interactions protein-protein, protein-membrane and protein-DNA, translation control, structure of biosystems and molecular materials, non-coding genome, regulation of translation and structural biology of gene regulation.
Available PhD topics:
- Structure and functions of proteins regulating bacterial transcription
- Elucidation of conformational changes by NMR spectroscopy within selected intrinsically disordered proteins relevant in neurodegenerative diseases
- Structural and thermodynamic properties of protein fibrils relevant in neurodegeneration. Free energy calculations.
- Endosome escape of non-enveloped viruses
- Endosome rupture in delivery of native cargo
- Structural characterization of leptophage replication cycle
- Design of fusogenic peptides
- Effect of lipid asymmetry on membrane protein function
- Protein liquid droplets during transcription
- Co-translational quality control and its role in neural tissue
- Translation in the context of human host-pathogen interaction
- Designing modified DNA fragments
- Structure of parallel forms of nucleic acids: NMR spectroscopy and molecular modeling
- Dishevelled internal affairs in Wnt signaling
- Nucleic Acids Sensing
- Ribosome Assembly Mechanisms
- Deciphering the Argonaute Loading Mechanisms in RNA-Silencing Pathways
