PhD Position Scholarships Funding in Biophysics

Scholarships Funding In particular, many bacteria are naturally competent for DNA transformation in which bacteria import naked DNA from their environment. Although the proteins required for DNA import most of the known, the molecular mechanism of DNA import is unclear. We designed and tested a laser tweezers to study the dynamics of molecular motors and power generation in the lives of individual bacteria in a different model bacteria. Scholarships Funding In future studies we want to apply statistical physics methods to overcome the transport mechanism of DNA molecules through the cell envelope of bacteria in the human pathogen Neisseria gonorrhoeae.

Methods: The laser tweezers, single molecule fluorescence microscopy, microbiological methods
