We congratulate Dr. Lena Lassinantti, who successfully defended her thesis on the 3rd of June!
The ISB postdoc program call is now open for the round of 2021. At this stage we are inviting project proposals from PIs that wish to recruit postdocs within this program. For full details of the call and how to apply, please see https://www.biostruct.umu.se/isb-postdoctoral-program/
We have a new publication out in mSphere regarding how enterococcal PrgU provides additional layer of complexity to pheromone controlled conjugative plasmids in Gram-positive bacteria! https://journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/mSphere.00264-21
The Berntsson lab at the department of Medical Biochemistry and Biophysics at Umeå University, Sweden, is recruiting one postdoctoral fellow (funded by the Kempe Foundation) to study the structural and functional aspects of Type 4 Secretion Systems. These large protein complexes are responsible for horizontal gene transfer between bacteria. As such, they facilitate the spread […]
Postdoctoral fellowship to study Type 4 Secretion System The Berntsson lab at the department of Medical Biochemistry and Biophysics at Umeå University, Sweden, is recruiting one postdoctoral fellow (2-year fellowship, funded by the Kempe Foundation) to study the structural and functional aspects of Type 4 Secretion Systems. These large protein complexes are responsible for horizontal […]
The article “In situ assembly of choline acetyltransferase ligands by a hydrothiolation reaction reveals key determinants for inhibitor design” was just published in Angewandte Chemie.
We are very happy that Jonas Barandun was awarded the ERC Starting Grant 2020! More info here.
A new article from the Berntsson lab, with Dr. Andreas Schmitt as lead author, has just been accepted in the Journal of Molecular Biology, see here for the full (curently pre-proof version) article.
