In this regard, the Molecular Biophysics Laboratory of Department of Biological
Sciences, headed by Dr. R. Mahalakshmi, Associate Professor, and working in the broad areas of MITOCHONDRIAL BIOCHEMISTRY and PROTEIN BIOENERGETICS has vacancies for graduate students for the following experimental research topics:
- Study of human mitochondrial membrane protein folding and function towards
development of aggregation inhibitors - Study of human mitochondrial import supercomplex structure, function and regulation
in neurodegeneration and aging - Study of the molecular function and architecture of the human mitochondrial membrane
protein translocase - Study of the molecular function and architecture of the human mitochondrial membrane
protein assembly machinery - Study of molecular effectors of beta-barrel membrane protein biogenesis, misfolding,
and aggregation - Study of elemental origins of the structure, function, and regulation of the human
mitochondrial metabolite flux protein
Description of research in the Mahalakshmi laboratory: We are discovering the link between membrane protein folding, protein stability and function, and its connection to neurodegenerative diseases. Our focus system is the human mitochondrial outer membrane proteins. We combine modern ultrafast kinetics and equilibrium spectroscopic measurements with state-of-the-art electrophysiology measurements and cell survival assays to obtain a complete understanding of membrane protein folding, function, regulation, and the occurrence of neurodegeneration.
