Two Masters thesis projects available
We have two great MSc thesis projects available:
1. Degradomics analysis of protein processing in human and murine mitochondria, including testing a few adaptations to our degradomics/mass spectrometry methods. The ideal candidate is a biochemistry or analytical chemistry student with a strong interest and ideally previous experience in mass spectrometry.
2. Substrates of plant aspartic protease in plant-pathogen interactions. This project will analyze newly generated mutant lines expressing a candidate proteases with effect on plant immunity from an inducible promotor using degradomics as well as biochemical and physiological methods. This project requires experience in plant biochemistry/molecular biology and ideally previous experience in phytopathology, and of course a strong interest in proteomics/degradomics.
Both projects can be supported with part-time student assistant contracts. Interested? Please contact Pitter with a brief letter of motivation and CV including transcript of records and at least one recent academic reference.

We always welcome inquiries from prospective B.Sc. and M.Sc. students, Ph.D. students and Postdocs interested in our research. Please contact us to discuss project ideas, timelines and potential funding sources.
