Participating Institutions
Department of Plant Biology and Biotechnology, LIFE Graduate School, University of Copenhagen; Denmark
Fields of study
PhD research in Dynamics of Assembly of Multi-protein Complexes.
The cell is a busy place, where supramolecular machines facilitate a diversity of biological tasks. How these machines are assembled within the crowded cellular milieu – where the likelihood of random encounters is low – and how the cellular components are able to find their way to the final destination are central questions in biological sciences.
There is an increasing awareness that we have to think in terms of the interactomes as opposed to the classical one-protein-at-a-time approach. In this project we study pathway-specific supramolecular complexes using the model plant Arabidopsis and its primary defense compounds, glucosinolates, which is a powerful model system with extensive ´omics tools available.
The project employs targeted and untargeted state-of-the-art protein-protein interaction methodologies to identify interacting proteins and employ advanced bioimaging technology for in vivo validation. First task will be to identify interaction partners for the enzymes in the pathway.

The University of Copenhagen (UCPH) (Danish: Københavns Universitet) is the oldest university and research institution in Denmark. Founded in 1479 as a studium generale, it is the second oldest institution for higher education in Scandinavia after Uppsala University (1477).
The university has four campuses located in and around Copenhagen, with the headquarters located in central Copenhagen. Most courses are taught in Danish; however, many courses are also offered in English and a few in German. The university has several thousands of foreign students, about half of whom come from Nordic countries.
