We have an exciting 3-year PhD studentship focussing on proteomics characterisation of novel tyrosine kinase inhibitors against leukemia.

This project will be supervised by the dream team of José and Maria.

UK and EU residents are eligible.

Start date ideally this September.

Sandra Murphy, our expert in clinical proteomics has moved on to take up an industrial position in proteomics.

thank you, Sandra for your great work, you will be missed!

Vincent Albrecht has joined the lab for a 6 week internship. He will continue on a project of an E3 ligase in innate immunity.

Welcome, Vincent!

Hannah left us after 8 months of ERASMUS exchange.

We had a good time saying good bye.

We wish Hannah all the best for the future!
