Postdoctoral Research Assistant: Regulation of organelle-selective autophagy by ubiquitin E3 ligases

Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Research Assistant in the chemical biology lab of Professor Satpal Virdee. The project will develop innovative and urgently needed tools for studying the ubiquitin system. The ubiquitin system is a central regulator of the cell containing a wealth of undiscovered aspects and untapped therapeutic potential. Working...

Modification of proteins with ubiquitin-like proteins (Ubls) is a critical cellular process linked to pathogen resistance, cancer, and selective organelle degradation. Central to their conjugation to substrates are E3 ligase enzymes (E3s), yet for many Ubls the E3s are poorly understood or remain completely unknown. The Virdee lab has pioneered the...
