PhD Position – Mechanisms of Glutamate Transporter Dysfunction in Neurological Diseases - Jülich, Deutschland - Forschungszentrum Jülich
Beschreibung
Your Job:
The PhD project focuses on a family of glutamate transporters – excitatory amino acid transporters – that is responsible for synaptic glutamate homeostasis in the mammalian brain. Mutations in genes encoding these transporters cause genetic forms of epilepsy and episodic ataxia. We are interested in understanding how these mutations modify transport functions. The project is based on a combination of molecular dynamics simulations and experimental techniques (solid-supported membrane electrophysiology, fluorescence spectroscopy), with the aim to understand transproter dysfunction at atomic resolution.
Your job will include taks in the following areas:
