If you have a talent and think you could fit to our group, we are currently looking for a young motivated researcher either to do proteomics or molecular modelling in our research projects. There will be a possibility to start a Ph.D. studies. The funded position will be for 2 years, and possible continuation to finalize the Ph.D. project will be applied as the project proceeds.
More specifically, the selected applicant will be working in a project that aims to use surrogate transporters to deliver endogenous compounds, like creatine into the brain and neurons, when their primary transport mechanism is unfunctional, such as in the case of creatine transporter deficiency syndrome that causes developmental disorders, learning disability, behavior changes, epilepsy, and autism. Since there is a lack of detailed knowledge of transporters’ expression and role in the brain we will explore the expression and function of selected transporters by proteomic methods with liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). Additionally, we will create computational protein and ligand models from the target transporter by which we can understand the structure-activity relationships of transporter-utilizing compounds.
Look more for the details from the official announcement (link).
