PhD Positions – Structural Biology Programme

Structural Biology Programme integrates information on the structure of biologically important macromolecules – proteins, nucleic acids and their complexes. Progressive high-resolution methods of structural analysis such as X-ray diffraction, nuclear magnetic resonance, cryo-electron microscopy and tomography are used in combination with modern methods of molecular modelling, theoretical chemistry, and bioinformatics.
