Job Description:

The PhD student will work in the framework of the Marie Curie PERFUME program. The PERFUME program is an interdisciplinary and intersectoral initial stage training network (ITN) at the interface of medicine, plant and fungal biology, devoted to understanding the principles of peroxisome biology. PERFUME brings together a team comprising of top scientists from the fields of cell biology, biochemistry, genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, mathematical modeling, bioinformatics and protein structure analysis.
The training scheme includes specific research projects, a wide range of dedicated courses and workshops organized by the academic and industrial partners of the Network. Trainees will become experts in the multidisciplinary field of peroxisome biology, and are expected to constitute future leaders in this field.

The student will use computational tools to characterise the Pex proteins in a strong interaction with experimental partners of the PERFUME network.Taks to realize include protein homologues collection, structure predictions, definition of crystallizable fragments and functional characterization of novel proteins. The most interesting candidate genes will be further analysed for localization and function by established in vivo and in vitro approaches.
