SPONSORSHIP AVAILABLE FOR THE POST-DOCTORAL POSITION Our Lab would like to sponsor two positions of the Post Doctorate Fellows who wish to apply for fellowships like DBT-RA, NPDF, WOS, UGC-RA, ICMR-RA, INSA etc.. We will help you to write the project of mutual interest which may be submitted to the funding agency. If successful, we will be happy to accommodate you in our Lab and extend all the facilities and knowledge in the fields of Molecular Biology, Protein Chemistry and Virology. Our Lab works on the following four 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. 2. Biochemical and Biophysical characterization of the non-structural enzymes of HEV involving their crystallization to find out their inhibitors which may act as putative drug candidates. 3. Study the mechanism of processing of HEV polyprotein leading to its cleavage into Nonstructural enzymes. 4. Modelling and simulation of the non-structural enzymes to predict the active site and its inhibitors using virtual screening
Qualifications Desired: Person desirous of getting sponsored and working with us should be well versed with techniques in the fields of Biochemistry and/or Cell culture validated by good publication record in PhD. The candidate will be encouraged to work independently on the defined project. Please send your CV and research statement to Deepak.sehgal@snu.edu.in.
