The PhD Economics aim of this project is to investigate the role of Cryptochrome proteins in mammalian circadian time machine. Special emphasis will be placed on their role as putative magnetoreceptors. Techniques for application include real-time glow and fluorescent imaging of cells circadian gene expression, and organotypic brain slice culture, recombinant protein biochemistry, mutagenesis target, virally mediated, optogenetic control cellular activity, and proteomic analysis of circadian transcription complex. How to behave Cryptochrome proteins in the cell during 24-hour circadian cycle, what their role in the regulation of transcription and how they function is influenced by magnetic fields?
This PhD Economics position will suit neurobiology, diligent, highly motivated molecular / biochemistry with a track record of academic achievement. http://www.callforpapersinfo.com
http://thescholarshipprogramme.com The successful applicant will work in internationally renowned research group, led by Dr Michael Hastings FRS, investigating various aspects of circadian timing. The group is backed by world-class facilities MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology. As a PhD Economics student at the LMB, students will also be a member of the College in Cambridge and enrolled at the University of Cambridge.
