Scholarship Description: Our research group studies protein mediated sculpting of the cell surface into carriers for endocytic uptake of various molecules such as receptors, viruses and bacterial toxins. The research is based on molecular biology, cell biological and protein biochemical techniques. This PhD project focuses on elucidating the mechanism behind membrane remodelling mediated by a specific family of proteins, and the role of these proteins in the cell. The work includes expression and purification of recombinant proteins, over and under expression of tagged proteins in cultured cell lines. This study also includes biochemical and biophysical analyses and microscopy and focuses on characterisation of protein interactions.
