The group will investigate among other aspects the differences existing between mammals and pathogenic protozoa, such as kinetoplastids and plasmodium, in the structure of their translation complexes. In addition, the group will study the function of protozoa-specific ribosomal features, which could ultimately lead to finding several potential pharmacophores.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><b><span lang="EN-US">Requirements: </span></b><span lang="EN-US">The successful PhD candidates holds a master degree in biology, biochemistry, biophysics or a related field.
