PhD position: Bacterial packaging of biocatalytic nanofactories Leiden University in Netherlands

Leiden University in Leiden, The Netherlands, invites applications for a full-time PhD position on Bacterial Packaging of Biocatalytic Nanofactories . The project is embedded in the Leiden Institute of Chemistry and the Macromolecular Biochemistry group within the Faculty of Science, in the laboratory of Prof. Lars Jeuken. The research will develop and exploit a technology for packaging biocatalysts inside lipid vesicles during bacterial expression. The resulting liposome-encapsulated systems wi...

PhD opportunity at the Swammerdam Institute for Life Sciences , University of Amsterdam , in the group of Andre Kuhn (Assistant Professor). The project focuses on biochemical characterisation of signal integration in plants , specifically how protein kinase complexes help plant cells rapidly integrate multiple, often contradictory, environmental signals at the cellular level. This opening is well suited to candidates interested in plant biology , cell signaling , biochemistry , and molecular mec...
