Master degree biochemistry students,

We wish to announce an opportunity for a Pro gradu project in our group. Please see our research web site (http://www.oulu.fi/fbmm/node/20603) and the attached PDF.

We are studying glycosylation using live cell (FRET and EM microscopy) and protein structure (crystallography and docking) methods. We also employ a variety of molecular biology and protein and cell biology methods for cell culture and molecular characterization. We also employ lectin microarray for studying glycosylation in different tissue samples.

The Pro gradu project is preferably offered to somebody interested in studying glycosyltransferase complexes. Methods could include making variant constructs, producing protein in E. coli or mammalian cells, protein purification and crystallization, as well as various methods to analyze complex formation, like molecular docking, FRET microscopy and dynamic light scattering.

Please contact us for more information and discussion!
