Project description
The successful candidate will work on an international, NCN-funded project to
design programmable protein nanoparticles able to interact with tissues and
viruses to achieve either virus capture or cell penetration. The candidate
will be in charge of a project probing the effect of the three-dimensional
arrangement of specific protein binders on a designed protein cage and
understanding its interaction with the target virus. They will carry out
and/or oversee relevant protein nanocage design and production, and attachment
of externally mounted proteins. They will carry out the biophysical
characterization of the resulting nanocages both before and after binding to
the target. The research will be carried out in the laboratory of
Bionanoscience and Biochemistry, located at the Małopolska Centre of
Biotechnology (www. heddlelab.org) in the beautiful city of Krakow, Poland
and will involve close interaction with colleagues in the UK and Slovenia.
