Mathematical modeling and analysis is required to get further understanding of the extent of effects caused by noise in biological systems. 2.) Understand mathematically to what extent the behaviour of deterministic models of biosystems are changed when random effects are added.

    High throughput method to produce and screen engineered antimicrobial lanthipeptides 3 April 2019 sequences that make up the rings," explains University of Groningen Professor of Molecular Biology Oscar Kuipers. "We know that a selection of 12 natural lantibiotics all have different combinations." Synthetic genes Kuipers and his colleagues from the ETH Zürich (Switzerland) and University of Regensburg (Germany) devised a system to create large numbers of new lantibiotics: "We synthesized DNA strands coding for the different rings and combined these genetic modules to form lantibiotic genes coding for random combinations of five rings." The gene library that they created contained around 14,000 synthetic genes. Alginate microbeads containing colonies of target cells (green) and producer cells (red). Where the producer The next step was to screen the gene products for cells indeed secrete active lantibiotics, the target cells antimicrobial potential. To do this, they modified a have disappeared.

The genes from the library were put into a producer Nature provides lots of antimicrobials. However, strain containing a red fluorescent marker. "We given the rapid increase of antimicrobial diluted these bacteria so that we would end up with resistance, there is a need for the development of one or zero cells per bead. We also added a target synthetic antibiotics. Lantibiotics are an interesting strain that could be killed by the lantibiotics; those option. Molecular biologists from the University of cells were used at a higher concentration of around Groningen and their colleagues in Switzerland and 50 per bead." The target cells carried a green Germany have now developed a pipeline to create fluorescent marker and produced a peptidase that and screen large numbers of new lantibiotic activated the precursor lantibiotics secreted by the peptides.

  • Call for Ph.D. 2019
    Call for Ph.D. applications 2019 RNA Folding Dynamics group When I talk to students about what kind of a lab they should join, I always tell them that it’s a very special experience to go into the laboratory of someone who is just beginning an independent research career, because the principal investigator is in the lab all the time working shoulder to ‘‘ shoulder with them. There is a lot of excitement and anticipation about exactly which direction the laboratory will go. - Thomas Cech, HHMI Nobel Prize in Chemistry” (1989) Applications are invited for two 4-year Ph.D. studentships, starting April 2019, in the newly established research group of Dr. Danny Incarnato (embedded in the department of Molecular Genetics, headed by Prof. Dr. Oscar Kuipers) at the University of Groningen (the Netherlands), to study in vivo RNA folding dynamics. What The successful applicants will work on a multidisciplinary project aimed at understanding the mechanistic aspects underlying in vivo RNA structure formation. Particularly, they will: - study the role of different factors, such as macromolecular crowding, RNA binding proteins (RBPs) and RNA post-transcriptional modifications (PTMs), in regulating RNA folding (and their crosstalk) - develop novel approaches for the accurate interrogation on a transcriptome-wide scale of RNA structures and PTMs - integrate the wet-lab work with a substantial component of bioinformatics analyses (developing novel analysis tools where needed) Ph.D. candidates will receive excellent training through cutting-edge research projects, advanced courses and training opportunities, complemented by workshops on generic research, transferable skills and teaching. Ph.D. candidates are committed to conduct independent and original scientific research, to report on this research in international publications and presentations, and to present the results of the research in a Ph.D.

  • STRUCTURAL and BIOCHEMICAL STUDIES of Streptococcus Sp
    STRUCTURAL AND BIOCHEMICAL STUDIES OF Streptococcus sp. α-GLYCEROPHOSPHATE OXIDASE Timothy M. Colussi A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of WAKE FOREST UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF ARTS AND SCIENCES In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirement for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY In the Department of Biochemistry of the Wake Forest University School of Medicine December 2009 Winston-Salem, North Carolina Approved By: Al Claiborne, Ph.D., Advisor ______________________________ Examining Committee: S. Bruce King, Ph.D., Chair ______________________________ Thomas Hollis, Ph.D. ______________________________ Derek Parsonage, Ph.D. ______________________________ W. Todd Lowther, Ph.D. ______________________________ ACKNOWLEDGMENTS First I would like to thank Dr. Al Claiborne for affording me the opportunity to work in his lab. His guidance has been a tremendous help to me over the years and his support has helped me grow as a scientific researcher. He has always been willing to give me the opportunity to share my work with other members of the scientific committee both here at Wake Forest and at meetings elsewhere. He has always been willing to help and offer assistance whenever I might have needed it, both scientifically and otherwise. I would also like to thank Dr. Conn Mallet for teaching me both the theory and practice of x-ray crystallography, and how to open a beer bottle using the desk handles at NSLS. He was instrumental in getting me excited about x-ray crystallography. He has also given me guidance throughout my graduate career, even after leaving Wake Forest University. An enormous thank you to Dr. Derek Parsonage, my molecular biology guru.
