Research on how proteins (mis)fold
Tania Morán Luengo is a PhD candidate in the Cellular Protein Chemistry group, under supervision of Dr. Stefan Rüdiger. During her PhD project, Tania solved a central paradox how molecular chaperones can fold proteins and revised the current paradigm of how that process works. The results of her work is currently in press in the journal … Read more
The proteins in our cells are produced as long chains of amino acids that must fold precisely into their final shape. The key players in this folding process are the so-called molecular chaperones; protein helpers that make sure this process is successful. Researchers from Utrecht University, in close collaboration with colleagues from Heidelberg University, have … Read more
In de afgelopen maand zijn maar liefst negen onderzoeksvoorstellen van Bèta-onderzoekers gehonoreerd. Aan Tzivya Zeev-Ben Mordehai (Scheikunde) en Thomas Grimm (Natuurkunde) is een START-UP Grant toegekend. Kaisa Kajala en Scott Hayes (beiden Biologie) kregen een persoonlijke Marie Curie Grant. Toon de Kroon (Scheikunde) was succesvol in de zeer competitieve ECHO-ronde. Baira Donoeva, Bert Klein Gebbink, Bertrand … Read more
