Sponsorship Available for the Post-Doctoral Position in COVID-19 RESEARCH PROJECT Mentor: DEEPAK SEHGAL Professor And Head, Department Of Life Sciences, Shiv Nadar University, Chithera, Tehsil Dadri, Budh Nagar, Greater Noida: 201314 I would like to sponsor positions for the deserving Post Doctorate Fellows (Research Associate) who wish to apply in my lab. With me as a mentor, the project will be written by the candidate, assisted by me for applying to the fellowships like DBT-RA, NPDF, WOS-A,B, ICMR-RA, INSA etc. If and when the project is granted, I will be happy to accommodate the candidate in my Lab and extend all the facilities and knowledge in the fields of Molecular Biology, Protein Chemistry and Virology. Our Lab works on following four projects: The selected candidate will work on the project.
“Identification and Validation of Drug-Like Inhibitors against SARS-Cov2 Replication� Alternate, Person selected can work on any of the following ongoing projects: 1. Development of in vitro HEV Culture system to establish the role of its enzymes and their inhibitors to study the replication cycle of the virus. (DST) 2. Biochemical and Biophysical characterization of the non-structural enzymes of HEV involving their crystallization to find out their inhibitors that may act as putative drug candidates. (DBT) 3. Study the mechanism of processing of HEV polyprotein leading to its cleavage into Nonstructural enzymes. (DST) 4. Modelling and simulation of the non-structural enzymes to predict the active site and its inhibitors using virtual screening ( WOSA) 5. Finding out cleavage sites on HEV polyprotein by mutagenizing Cysteine protease, the digesting enzyme, Desirable: The candidate desirous of getting sponsored and working with us should be well versed with techniques in the fields of Protein Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, evident from their publications. Please send your CV and Research Statement to deepak.sehgal@snu.edu.in If found suitable, I will get in touch subsequently for further discussion
