PhD Position: Maintaining Proteostasis in Aging (m/f/d) International PhD Programme Mainz, Institute of Molecular Biology in Germany

PhD position in proteostasis, aging, and small molecule modulators at the International PhD Programme (IPP) Mainz , Germany, in collaboration with the Khmelinskii and Padeken groups at the Institute of Molecular Biology. The project investigates how osmolytes such as betaine and taurine influence protein homeostasis during aging, with a focus on cellular and organismal physiology, stress mitigation, and protein misfolding pathologies. Research will use human cellular model systems and C. elegans...

Carl Laflamme, Assistant Professor at the University of Ottawa, is recruiting a master’s or PhD student for a new lab project on amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The research builds on a recent resource paper that identified high-quality antibodies for most proteins associated with ALS, with the goal of using those tools to investigate the biology of understudied ALS proteins. The selected student will work with cell biology, molecular biology, microscopy, and iPSC-based models. This is a st...
