3 PhD Student Positions: Three PhD student positions are available in the group of Prof. Dr. Nina Hartrampf in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Zurich (Switzerland). The group focuses on using flow chemistry for the chemical synthesis and modification of peptides and proteins. As part of the collaborative and interdisciplinary SNSF Sinergia Project “MYConnect,” the research will investigate the role of phosphorylation-dependent MYC interactions in cancer biology. The project aims to develop new synthetic methodology for preparing synthetic MYC analogues to characterize their binding interactions in biophysical assays.
