Scholarship Description: Senior researcher for the coordination of a major research project on implantable glucose sensors. UGent is hiring a senior researcher to be coordinator of a major ongoing research project on continuous glucose monitoring on the basis of silicon photonics. This research is part of a Flemish IWT supported project SBO-Glucosens. GlucoSens aims at the development of enabling technologies for continuous glucose monitoring using implantable single-chip optical sensors. The lifetime of commercially available, implantable electro-chemical glucose sensors is limited to a few days mainly due to bio-fouling and fibrous encapsulation. An optical approach can solve this issue. Within Glucosens, we develop the technology to use a silicon photonics chip packaged in a biocompatible material, an optical approach which might enable the extended lifetime.

Scholarship Description: Department of Plant Biology and Biotechnology, Faculty of Life Sciences at University of Copenhagen is offering a PhD scholarship commencing 1 October 2011 or soon thereafter.
The cell is a busy place, where supramolecular machines facilitate a diversity of biological tasks. How these machines are assembled within the crowded cellular milieu – where the likelihood of random encounters is low – and how the cellular components are able to find their way to the final destination are central questions in biological sciences. There is an increasing awareness that we have to think in terms of the interactomes as opposed to the classical one-protein-at-a-time approach. In this project we study pathway-specific supramolecular complexes using the model plant Arabidopsis and its primary defense compounds, glucosinolates, which is a powerful model system with extensive ´omics tools available. The project employs targeted and untargeted state-of-the-art protein-protein interaction methodologies to identify interacting proteins and employ advanced bioimaging technology for in vivo validation. First task will be to identify interaction partners for the enzymes in the pathway. The most promising interactions will be confirmed by pulldown or co-immunoprecipitation assays from plant tissues. Knockout mutants will be analyzed to confirm the function in vivo. We expect to gain basic knowledge about the mechanism underlying the dynamics of assembly of multi-protein complexes which is an important step towards understanding how plants defence themselves upon attack.
