The general objective of IUPFOOD is to provide a multi-disciplinary and specialised professional training in areas of food technology, with special emphasis on postharvest and food preservation engineering on the one hand and food science and technology on the other hand, to equip future personnel with the necessary technical and managerial knowledge, skills and attitudes, which are required to successfully contribute to solving problems related to food security. The IUPFOOD programme particularly focuses on developing countries where food security (delivering enough nutritious, high quality safe food) is a current and future major concern and key challenge. <br /><br />The programme builds on the integrated expertise in research and education of K.U.Leuven and UGent in the field of food technology.<br /> http://www.newscientiststudy.com/study/job/doctoral-candidates-berlin-berlin-1400861713.htmThu, 08 Jul 2010 14:56:18 +0100339944 Doctoral Candidates - Berlin<br /><br /> STUDYing in Berlin<br /><br /> INFECTIOUS DISEASES AND IMMUNE REACTIONS<br /><br /> 12 Extraordinary Projects Look for Doctoral Candidates to begin April 2011 (or earlier)<br /><br /> Deadline for Application - September 15, 2010<br /><br /> The ZIBI Graduate School Berlin is an international doctoral program.

Research within our group has demonstrated that a significant subgroup of ME/CFS patients exhibit impaired energy generation in muscle. <br /><br />Pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC) plays a key role in the regulation of cellular energetics. Decreased function of PDC results in increased metabolism of pyruvate via the lactate dehydrogenase pathway, with subsequent overproduction of lactic acid. Impaired energy generation by muscle, an increase in the lactate/pyruvate ratio in ME/CFS, and a propensity towards excess intra-muscular acidosis following limited exercise suggests PDC dysfunction in muscles of ME/CFS patients, with implications for the mechanism of expression of fatigue. <br /><br />We postulate that patients with ME/CFS have significant abnormality in acid control within their muscles related to both acid generation and its clearance from tissue which, we believe, results in generation of a centrally-perceived exercise “stop” signal. <br /><br />This integrated MRes/PhD studentship will develop intracellular nanosensors specifically designed to monitor real-time fluxes in key analytes within the cell that are associated with critical bioenergetic pathways. In this way it will be possible to identify, with exquisite sensitivity, biochemical changes that ultimately lead to the ME/CSF phenotype. Such sensors will include, but not be limited to, key analytes such as pyruvate, lactic acid, pH and ATP. Further, surface modification of the nanosensor will facilitate the site selective positioning of nanosensors within the cell, thus enabling organelle-directed measurements of metabolite flux in real time. <br /><br />The multidisciplinary nature of the supervisory team, which ranges from chemists to clinicians, represents an exceptional combination of skill sets which will enable the delivery of an outstanding research training opportunity to the successful candidate.<br /><br />Project start date: September 2010<br /><br />Eligibility and Value of the Award<br />Depending on how you meet the MRC’s eligibility criteria, you may be entitled to a full or a partial award.

It is mainly based in the Institute for Cell and Molecular Biosciences at Newcastle University but there will be the opportunity for extended placements (2-3 months) at AstraZeneca at Alderley Edge in Cheshire where supervision will be provided by Dr Tanya Coleman and Ian Haslam, both DMPK specialists and actively involved in transporter-based projects.<br /><br />It is now well established that expression of ABC transporters (eg MDR1, MRP2 , BCRP) together with P450 enzymes (eg CYP3A4) in the intestine form a functional barrier to restrict drug and xenobiotic uptake via the oral route. In addition hepatic and renal clearance are dependent on similar patterns of metabolism and ABC-mediated export. Since ABC efflux transporters and CYP3A enzymes show broad and often overlapping substrate specificities, competition for substrates leads to unexpected drug-drug interactions in humans unrelated to their structural class. High-throughput MDR1/CYP3A4 screens form an important element of recognition of such problems for ADME predictions. <br /><br />The primary aim of the project is to investigate the utility of isolated crypt/villus preparations from mouse/rat for medium/high throughput determination of ABC-mediated transport activities. For ABC-mediated transport, fluorescent substrate molecule exclusion from cytoplasmic uptake will be determined in the presence or absence of appropriate specific inhibitors (eg Hoe 3342 +/- cyclosporin +/-Ko143 MDR1, BCRP, pheobromide, BCRP, BCECF-AM +/- MK571 ) using fluorescence measurements from suspensions of crypt/villus structures. Such inhibitor studies will provide a baseline to compare other known substrates and new clinical entities. These determinations will then be compared to existing assays using established epithelial cell systems (MDCK-transfected, Caco-2, T84). In addition the use of mouse ko lines provides an additional means of assessing individual ABC transporters (eg mdr1a/b) within the context of multiple ABC transporter expression. <br /><br />Project start date: September 2010<br /><br />Recent publications<br />Haslam, I., Jones, K., Coleman, T. and Simmons, N.L.

However, some yeasts utilise unusual RNA polymerase (uRNAP). uRNAP is coded by a linear cytoplasmic plasmid, and is a part of so called killer system of some yeasts genera, which produces toxins to kill other strains. Having homology to msRNAPs, the uRNAP lacks considerable number of the msRNAPs conserved parts, essential for transcription. Furthermore, the two tethered domains of the uRNAP are homologues to separate subunits of the msRNAP. Most remarkably the uRNAP seems to function in the cytoplasm of the yeast cell, as opposed to other eukaryotic msRNAPs that work in the nucleus. Taken together, neither the function of uRNAP, nor the mechanisms governing its work are known. <br /><br />The killer systems are of considerable clinical importance, since are used against pathogenic yeast species. Furthermore they are used in food industry to fight harmful yeast strains. Given the central role of uRNAP in maintenance, propagation and operation of the killer system, understanding of functions of uRNAP are essential for understanding of the killer system as whole. Furthermore investigation of uRNAP may shed light on evolution of ubiquitous multi-subunit RNAPs. <br /><br />This PhD project is dedicated to investigation of the function of the yeast killer system, and particularly the major player, the uRNAP. We will study the mechanisms of this strange enzyme function in vitro to elucidate its role in the killer system. The study will involve a wide range of general molecular biology and genetics (cloning, mutagenesis, etc.), biochemistry (protein purification, transcription in vitro, EMSA, etc.) and microbiology techniques.<br /> <br />Project start date: September 2010<br /><br />Eligibility and Value of the Award<br />Depending on how you meet the MRC’s eligibility criteria, you may be entitled to a full or a partial award.

These mice have perturbations in ubiquitin pools as well as significantly reduced levels of neuronal glutathione. We are interested in the extent to which glutathione insufficiency contributes to the neurodegenerative phenotype and propose to study the consequences of such glutathione insufficiency using primary cultures and/or neurosphere cultures generated from our knockout mice or wild type littermate controls. Parameters of cell function will be evaluated under the various conditions including renewal capacity, differentiation status, apoptotic index, and expression of senescence markers. Sensitivity of cultured cells to oxidative stress will be examined through administration of chemical agents such as hydrogen peroxide. The relative contributions of ubiquitin pool perturbations and glutathione insufficiency will be evaluated by selectively reducing or augmenting these two systems in wild type neurospheres either genetically (using lentiviral expression vectors, siRNA strategies, etc), or pharmacologically (using proteasome inhibitors, buthionine sulfoximine, N acetyl cysteine, and so forth).<br /> http://www.newscientiststudy.com/study/job/phd-positions-germany-germany-1400816823.htmFri, 04 Jun 2010 08:01:57 +0100219525 PhD positions - Germany<br /><br /> Earn your PhD in an Interdisciplinary Environment<br /><br /> International Research at the MPGC<br /><br /> The Max Planck Graduate Center with the Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz is a newly established interdisciplinary graduate school in sciences.
