**Project Overview** **Collectin-11** is a pattern recognition receptor that initiates the lectin pathway of complement activation-an essential component of innate immunity. Beyond its role in pathogen defense, collectin-11 contributes to **sterile inflammatory responses**, such as ischemia-reperfusion injury, making it an attractive target for novel...

100% / Available: February 2026 Neural network models have transformed many areas of life sciences, including protein structure prediction and molecular generation. However, due to limited high-quality data, purely data-driven AI models often lack the generalizability required to reliably model protein–ligand interactions, as recently demonstrated by our...

The global surge in Myopia (or near-sightedness) has reached epidemic proportions and represents one of the most significant public health challenges of our time. The rise in prevalence among children is so extreme that 80-90% of young adults are affected in some regions of the globe. The situation is expected to worsen, with half of the world-nearly 5...

100%, starting January 2026 (negotiable) Proteins must fold correctly to function, and this process is tightly regulated by a network of chaperone proteins. At the heart of this network is Hsp90, a molecular chaperone essential for the folding and maturation of at least 20% of all cellular proteins. Hsp90's malfunction is implicated in cancer,...

Associated with the University of Basel, Swiss TPH combines research, education and services at local, national and international levels....

Postdoctoral Position in Neural Circuit Mechanisms of Aging and Alzheimer's DiseaseThe newly established research group led by Prof. Marc Aurel Busche is currently seeking a highly motivated and ambitious postdoctoral researcher interested in conducting cutting-edge research on the molecular and neural circuit mechanisms underlying early stage Alzheimer's...

**PhD Position in Carbohydrate-Based Synthesis & Assay Development** **Starting date July 2025 (or upon agreement).** The Molecular Pharmacy group at the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences is focused on early stages of drug discovery, including target identification and validation, the design, screening, characterization and optimization of molecules with...

A PhD position is available with Dr Jutta Toscano at the University of Basel to investigate how molecular complexity in interstellar space emerges from the reaction of small atomic and molecular fragments. The combined use of electric fields, magnetic fields and laser light enables the precise control of the velocity and quantum state of the reacting species...
