Research on how proteins (mis)fold
Cellular Protein Chemistry will be expanded with a new group, led by Arnold Boersma! The Boersma group interest is in sensing and reconstructing intracellular biochemical organization, such as macromolecular crowding and protein self-organization. They have developed FRET-based protein probes for macromolecular crowding in diverse living and nonliving systems, probes for ionic strength in cells (see … Read more
We had a great labday, with fantastic weather and lots of fun activities! The morning started with a scavenger hunt through Utrecht and in the afternoon the groups had to defend their honor Robinson-Crusoe-style. Topped of with a nice Indian dinner. Thank you Senna, Tamara and Françoise for the organization!
We have three new bachelor students who are going to write their thesis at CPC. Damian is guided by Peter and Lucas is guided by Simone, they are both working on CFTR. Annemiek is guided by Francoise, she is working on Huntington disease. Welcome everyone and good luck!
Congratulations to the new doctor! Dr. Koopman! On April 20th Margreet Koopman defended her thesis entitled “Molecular chaperones in neurodegeneration” in the Akademiegebouw of University of Utrecht.
We have two new bachelor students who are going to write their thesis at CPC. Pleun is guided by Françoise and Emile is guided by Júlia.
