Professor Clemens Kaminski is pleased to consider applications from prospective PhD students.
Using microscopic techniques such as Fluorescent Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET), Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging Microscopy (FLIM) and dynamic imaging we can study chemistry and molecular transport directly within the living cell. A major effort is invested in the development of techniques for the study of protein-protein interactions, which are linked to disease, in particular to cancer, Parkinson's disease and Malaria. The techniques are also used for research into molecular assembly, protein conformational dynamics, and aggregation. Recently we have developed an optical superresolution microscope based on dSTORM (direct Stochastic Optical Reconstruction Microscopy) with which we can perform structural or colocalisation microscopies at molecular scale resolution.
