Opis zadań:

We are looking for a PhD student to join the project team of Dr Maria Klimecka at the University of Warsaw. We offer work in an international project team that includes the laboratories of Lindon Moodie and Luke Robertson (Uppsala University, SE), Seino Jongkees (VU Amsterdam, NL) and Francesca Bugli (Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli in Rome, IT). The joint project aims to generate validated hits corresponding to novel antifungal classes or those that act against under-explored protein targets, and to push these compounds for further development towards the clinic. This is an opportunity to learn the techniques of protein expression and purification, biochemical assays and structural methods (crystallography and cryo-EM). The project is part of the JPIAMR platform for Global Coordination of Antimicrobial Resistance Research. More details can be found here: https://www.jpiamr.eu/projects/funhitdisco. The PhD student will have a chance to visit collaborating labs, travel to JPIAMR meetings, and be part of a dynamic young consortium. The PhD student will join the Structural Biology Group and be co-supervised by dr hab. Maria Górna. The scope of work will include: cloning, protein expression in bacterial and yeasts systems, protein purification, characterisation of the enzymatic activity, and structural analysis of proteins and protein-ligand complexes.
