Our laboratory operates at the interface of materials science, biopolymers and biology. Our goal is to introduce advanced approaches from materials chemistry and polymer science into food science, plant research, biomedicine, and agriculture. Our core expertise lies in carbohydrates, polysaccharides, and saccharide-bearing materials (glycosides). The research in our lab is grounded in the rational design of advanced materials with broad scientific and practical applications.
Requirements: – Degree in Biology/Biochemistry and/or Plant Science – Advantage for applicants with experience in plant molecular biology/plant genetics/ glycobiology/ plant real time imaging – PhD for research associates and postdocs, MSc and BSc degree for PhD and MSc applicants correspondingly
The topics in the lab combine basic and applied research with the possibility of collaborating with the industry. The student can study numerous methods at the edge of material science and biology, and equipment (NMR, FTIR, GPC, TGA, DSC, SEM, AFM). A pleasant atmosphere is also suggested
