PhD opportunity at the University of Dundee in plant biology, stress physiology, molecular biology, chemical biology, proteomics, and targeted protein degradation. This EASTBIO/BBSRC-funded doctoral project investigates how Cereblon E3 ubiquitin ligase functions during environmental stress responses in plants, especially heat stress, and how Cereblon could be used in targeted protein degradation (TPD) approaches such as PROTAC-like strategies. The project explores plant proteome remodeling, ubiq...
