Master and PhD opportunities in UKM
Structural studies group in the Institute of Systems Biology (INBIOSIS), UKM is seeking for candidate who is passionate in research and is interested in the study of protein structures and functions.
The candidate will be involved in structural and functional study of novel nucleases that are found in pathogenic bacteria. The candidate is expected to work both independently and collaboratively as part of cross-functional research teams. The position requires a self-driven person with intellectual flexibility and problem-solving mentality to tackle challenges encountered during the course of research project.
Requirements:
Candidate with fundamental understanding in molecular biology/biochemistry/biotechnology/biomedical sciences with CGPA>3.00 is encouraged to apply. Experiences in scientific writing will be a plus.
Contact: Applicant can send their CV to: Ng Chyan Leong (Ph.D) Research Fellow Institute of Systems Biology Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia

PhD study in Institute of Systems Biology (INBIOSIS), UKM
Protein structure and function study group in the Institute of Systems Biology (INBIOSIS), UKM is seeking for a talented candidate who is passionate in doing life sciences research starting as soon as early 2019.
Project description: Antibiotic resistant pathogenic bacteria are a global public health challenge. The slow development of new antibiotics has made the problem even more alarming. Hence, alternative drug discovery approaches, like targeting the functions and mechanisms that are essential for bacterial survival and replication, are being actively pursued. One of the new paradigms is to target the essential proteins that are needed for host infection or evading host defence system. This project will focus on studying hypothetical proteins from a multidrug resistant pathogen using structural and functional approaches. These hypothetical proteins are encoded in an operon, which have been shown to involve in the pathogenic infection of host cell. This work aims to study the roles of these proteins in host-pathogen interactions and their potential as an alternative drug target for the pathogen.
The student will expose to variety of molecular biology, biochemistry and bioinformatics techniques including sequence analysis, cloning, protein production and purification, X-ray crystallography and 3D structure analysis.
Requirements: • Master’s degree Or Bachelor’s degree holder with First-class honours in biology / molecular biology / biochemistry / biotechnology / microbiology / biomedical sciences • Experiences in scientific writing will be a plus.
