This postdoctoral project at EPFL is based in the laboratory of Prof. Alex Persat in the School of Life Sciences. The position focuses on building a new image-based drug screening platform to identify compounds active against major gram-negative bacterial pathogens , including Klebsiella pneumoniae , Acinetobacter baumannii , and Pseudomonas aeruginosa . The researcher will design and implement a microscopy-based phenotypic screening workflow that combines live imaging , high-content screening ,...

This doctoral project focuses on developing an affordable optical system for measuring six hormones in urine at home on a daily basis. The work sits at the intersection of biophysics and biotechnology , combining sample preparation, analytical validation and detection-system development. The student will work within the Hormones Project , which is funded by KTH InspireLab and jointly led by three research leaders at AlbaNova and SciLifeLab . The project aims to move hormone measurement beyond th...

This postdoctoral position is based at the Institut de Biologie Intégrative de la Cellule (I2BC) , part of the CNRS-CEA-Université Paris-Saclay research environment in Gif-sur-Yvette. The project sits in the team “Biochimie des Métalloprotéines et Maladies Associées” and focuses on a fundamental question at the interface of metabolism and protein biochemistry. The research aims to elucidate how fatty acid synthesis is mechanistically connected to iron-sulfur (Fe-S) cluster biogenesis in prokaryo...

This postdoctoral fellow position at Saint Louis University is part of an active biomedical research environment within BMB, where faculty work on blood coagulation, DNA repair, and lipid metabolism with state-of-the-art facilities and instrumentation. The project centers on the structural enzymology of proteins responsible for blood coagulation . The fellow will study the molecular architecture and mechanism of key interactions involved in clot formation and regulation, using a combination of c...
