KI is looking for a postdoctoral researcher in bacterial regulatory RNAs in disease

Do you want to contribute to top quality medical research?

NDPIA Director of Studies Dr. Edmund Loh and his group are looking for a postdoctoral research fellow to work on a project on RNA-mediated pili regulation in the meningococcus.

The Edmund Loh Lab is focusing on RNA-mediated molecular mechanisms that are involved in bacterial pathogenesis. The pathogen of research is Neisseria meningitidis (meningococcus) and we utilise a wide variety of genetic, cell biological and biochemical methods and techniques. The research in Dr. Loh’s group focuses on the regulation of sRNAs and their gene expression patterns during various biological stress conditions.

The New Microbiology | EMBO-FEBS Lecture Course

When: 31 August – 8 September 2022

Where: Spetses, Greece

About the EMBO-FEBS Lecture Course:

Spetses Summer courses are well known for covering various specialized topics within the general fields of molecular and cell biology and also microbiology. This latter field has witnessed a real renaissance in the last twenty years and in this particular FEBS/EMBO Lecture Course with support of IUBMB, we intend to cover different aspects of ‘the New Microbiology’, including bacterial diversity, microbial communities/microbiotas, symbiosis, biofilms, small RNAs or bacterial pathogens.
