<p>How does a neuron grow? Genome expression must be matched to different cell sizes, with rapidly growing cells likely requiring higher transcriptional and translational output than cells in slow growth or maintenance phase. Neurons exhibit the greatest size differences of any class of cells, with process lengths ranging from a few microns in central interneurons to a meter in human peripheral neurons, and even longer in larger mammals.

Membrane proteins make up a quarter of the proteome of every living organism and participate in nearly every biological process. We are interested in the fascinating process of how these proteins get produced, fold, and assemble in cells. The questions we address are: How do proteins fold in the membranes of living cells? How do the dynamic features of unfolded proteins assist in this process? How do cellular factors recognize membrane proteins that failed to fold and need to be cleared? The lab combines biochemical, cell biology, genetic and computational tools.

<p>Join us to study the&nbsp;FASCINATING world of the malaria parasites!</p>&#xD;
&#xD;
<p>We are seeking for highly motivated, committed and curious students to join our team as rotation students. The projects center on different fascinating aspects of the cellular biology of the malaria parasite. The chosen applicant will peruse wide spread of DIVERSE molecular biology methods, tissue-culture, microscopy, bioinformatics, biochemistry, OMICS and more. Candidate should send a cover letter and English CV to Prof.
