Bern, Schweiz Universität Bern Universität Bern Vollzeit

**4 PhD positions in inhibitor desgin against bacterial toxins**
**100 %**:
As part of our Sinergia project DISPERSE (Designing Inhibitors Against Clostridial Pore-Forming Toxins: A Structure-Based Approach) 4 PhD student positions are available, in the laboratories of Profs. J.L. Reymond (Department of Chemistry, Biochemistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Science Faculty), B. Zuber (Institute of Anatomy; Medical Faculty) and H. Posthaus (Institute of Animal Pathology; Vetsuisse Faculty).

Project Information
Bacteria of the genus Clostridium cause severe animal and human diseases. β-Pore forming toxins (βPFTs) form a major group of their virulence factors. They are secreted by different pathogenic clostridia and cause cell damage by forming pores in the plasma membrane of host cells. βPFTs share common structures and molecular mechanisms, making them attractive targets for the development of anti-virulence therapies. In a collaborative research approach between three faculties at the University of Bern, we aim to design and validate peptide inhibitors against clostridial βPFTs using a combination of computational peptide design and structural knowledge of the toxins.
