Integrated Research Training Group PROTEOFORuM (SFB 1664)
spokesperson: Prof. Dr. Marcel Quint, coordinator: Dr. Carolin Delker, Dr. Julia Grimmer (funding 2024-2028) (link)
The major objective of the collaborative research centre (CRC) is to understand the translation of genome-encoded sequence variation to structural, mechanistic and functional proteoform diversity. The SFB 1664 is an interdisciplinary collaborative research centre at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg.
The highly interdisciplinary nature of the CRC requires extensive expertise in plant molecular biology, structural protein biochemistry and computational methods. Early career researchers (ECRs) will therefore need to acquire a broad understanding of all disciplines involved to efficiently progress in their project work.
Unique features of the PROTEOFORuM graduate programme (tailor-made scientific training, laboratory rotations and interdisciplinary mentoring) in combination with established graduate programme modules (e.g., thesis advisory committees, transferrable skills training, etc.) are designed to efficiently prepare PhD students for project completion, timely graduation and future scientific careers.
