Scholarship Description

The successful applicant will be based in the School of Biomedical Sciences (Dept. of Microbiology and Dept. of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology) and work under the supervision of A/Prof Anna Roujeinikova. The projects in the lab use a structural biology approach to gain molecular understanding of how medically-important bacteria, such as Helicobacter pylori and Neisseria gonorrhoeae cause disease. Detailed information on the current projects in the lab can be found at http://www.med.monash.edu.au/microbiology/staff/roujeinikova.html The main technique is X-ray protein crystallography. Other biophysical methods such as electron microscopy, small angle scattering, calorimetry are applied as necessary. The training will also be provided in molecular biology and biochemistry techniques used in the lab. Enquiries and applications can be sent to Anna.Roujeinikova@med.monash.edu.au
