Opening: PhD student (m/f/d) in Biophysics

By Mohamad Almedawar | Published: July 1, 2020

The Hyman and Zechner labs are looking for a PhD student to research the control of cellular noise via phase separation. Brief summary: Liquid condensates provide a potential mechanism to control molecular fluctuations in cells. We have recently provided a first proof of principle of this idea using theory and single-cell experiments. In this project, […]
