PhD studentship in Structural Bioinformatics

One PhD studentship in Structural Bioinformatics (1 year)
Project:
Structural analysis of mutations and polymorphisms in human cancers and
the effect of these changes on the signaling properties of proteins.
We
offer a PhD position in the context of a collaborative project in the
Brussels region. The project focusses on the relationship between
single-nucleotide polymorphisms and protein structure and function in
cancer. The aim is to predict the effects that single-nucleotide
polymorphisms (SNPs) and haplotypes have on both the expression levels
and structural properties of cancer-related proteins. The best
candidates will have a strong background in computational chemistry or
structural bioinformatics. Experience with SNP arrays and/or data
mining is a serious plus.
