PhD Fellowship @ Glasgow -Strathclyde Institute of Pharmacy & Biomedical Sciences, University of Strathclyde

Project Title: Regulation of protein function by post-translational modification

This  Position is available from 1st October 2011 in the research group of Dr Luke Chamberlain .Palmitoylation is an important post-translational modification that regulates protein trafficking and function. The aim of this project is to develop an understanding of DHHC protein regulation by screening for novel interacting proteins. The project will use a multi-disciplinary approach, including molecular biology (DNA cloning etc), biochemical, and confocal imaging techniques. The research of the Institute is represented by five main groups: * Biomedicinal chemistry and drug delivery * Cell biology * Infection, Immunity and Microbiology * Integrative mammalian biology * Pharmaceutical care and Public Health No Of Positions: This Department/School currently has 3 project(s) listed below.

Funding: The funding is available to citizens of a number of European countries (including the UK). In most cases this will include all EU nationals. However full funding may not be available to all applicants and you should read the full department and project details for further information.
