Opis zadań:

We are looking for a PhD student to join the project team of Dr Katarzyna Bandyra at the University of
Warsaw to work on the structure and function of human mitochondrial FASTKD proteins in the SONATA BIS
13 grant funded by the National Science Centre, Poland. This is an opportunity to learn the exciting technique
of electron cryomicroscopy which is revolutionizing structural biology. The project aims at the biochemical and
structural characterization of proteins playing crucial roles in mitochondria homeostasis.
For the latest example of Dr Bandyra's work, see: A cooperative PNPase-Hfq-RNA carrier complex facilitates
bacterial riboregulation. Molecular Cell (2021) https://doi.org/10.1016/j.molcel.2021.05.032
The scope of work will include: cloning, protein expression in bacterial and mammalian systems, protein
purification, characterization of the activity and substrate preference, identification of RNA and protein
partners in human cells, and protein structural analysis.
