PhD-projects

The PhD-school offers PhD-projects in molecular biomedicine, RNA-biology, marine biotechnology, bacterial genomics, as well as in basic problems in molecular and structural biology:

Molecular biomedicine
• Studies of interacting proteins in cellular signaling
• Regulation of transcription factors
• Molecular, genetic and cellular studies of autoimmunity
• Studies of molecular mechanisms of drug function

RNA-biology
• Characterization of structure, function and biological role of catalytic RNA molecules
• Protein-RNA and RNA-RNA interaction studies
• Molecular evolution, phylogenetic distribution, and mobility of catalytic RNA introns
• Application of RNA as molecular research tools

Marine biotechnology
• Molecular basis of cold adaptation
• Molecular basis of virulence – Vibrio salmonicida
• Mitogenomics of marine animals

Basic molecular studies
• Theoretical modelling of reaction mechanisms and ligand binding
• Enzyme design/redesign
• Structural genomics – Vibrio salmonicida

Method development
• Development of bioinformatics tools
•
