Postdoctoral studies in Biochemistry and Biophysics

At
the Department of Medical Biochemistry and Biophysics.

The department conducts a broad spectrum of biomedical research and education within medical biochemistry and biophysics. Presently our department consists of 11 research divisions with a total of approximately 300 employees.

Description of the research project/area of research
The group uses a system structural biology approach to study function and mechanism of enzymes that catalyze protein modifications (ADP-ribose transferases in particular) with emphasis on implications for cancer.

The focus of the current position will be on the biochemical characterization of ADP-ribose transferases. The group applies X-ray crystallography and a wide range of biophysical and biochemical techniques to study protein function. The laboratory has a strong track record in the use of high throughput technologies for protein production, crystallization and structure analysis. The laboratory is equipped with state-of-the-art instruments for protein chemistry, biophysics, crystallography, and high throughput technologies.

The project is initially for one year.
