Two
PhD student positions are available in the areas of
Biochemistry or bioinformatics in the general field of
Endocrinology/metabolism and protein chemistry, at Pediatric
Endocrinology, Department of Clinical Research, University of Bern,
under the supervision of PD Dr. Amit V Pandey. The projects will combine
genetics, biochemistry, molecular biology, protein chemistry and
biophysical/crystallographic studies and will focus on the role
steroidogenic cytochrome P450 proteins and P450 oxidoreductase in
metabolism of salt sugar and sex steroids..
