1/ Our lab’s first preprint found a wonderful journal home! 🎉 Our paper explores the role of testis-specific transcription factors in Drosophila and reveals broad functional connections between tissue-specific paralog proteins. 📝 Link: genesdev.cshlp.org/content/earl... Thread 🧵👇
Applications have to go through the official portal, here is the one for biomolecular condensates: phd.nat.au.dk/for-applican...phd.nat.au.dk/for-applican...
PhD students are full-time employees in DK and conditions should thus be highly competitive. We have very nice infrastructure for biophysics, structural biology, and molecular neuroscience, which the successful applicant gets to play with! 😀
Do you know our next PhD students? We have two openings starting this summer, one for engineering of biomolecular condensates, and one for de novo design of protein binders (and their applications). Details ⬇️
On Thursday, we welcome Ayala Lampel (Tel Aviv Uni) and Karen Duff (UK Dementia Research Institute) at IDPseminars. Topics will be minimalistic peptide condensates and abnormal tau in neurodegenerative disorders. New attendees can sign up at: idpseminars.com
The joys of navigating the European train system amid overlapping German and Belgian train strikes include visiting unexpected destinations 😌
New toy in the lab! Thanks to the Carlsberg Foundation (and beer drinkers around the world) our core facility has a brand new ITC (Malvern PEAQ-ITC). Looking forward to all the data it will generate!
Are interactions between intrinsically disordered proteins too naughty for Microsoft? My entry in the "PhD thesis title as DALL-E 3 prompt" was declared "unsafe content".
