If you're interested to join our lab for your BSc or MSc thesis, contact Janine Kirstein. Please contact me at least 2 months ahead of your proposed starting time of your thesis.
Our lab uses biochemical approaches to study the remodelleing of disease-associated amyloid proteins by molecular chaperones in vitro as well as cell biological and genetic methods to analyze modifiers of proteotoxicity of disease proteins in cells or in vivo in C. elegans. Please check out our research and publications to gain more insight and let me know if you cannot access publications from our lab as I can then send you the respective pdfs.
Recent BSc theses from our group:
"In vitro Analysis of interaction between the chaperone DNAJB1 and Huntingtin Exon1-Q48"
"The influence of HSP-110 on the aggregation and toxicity of Amyloid β peptides in C. elegans"
Recent MSc theses from our group:
"Binding of the Huntington peptide HttExon1Q48 to the chaperone DNAJB1 - a classical molecular dynamics approach" (supervised together with Susan Köppen)
"The role of the molecular chaperone DNJ-13 in counteracting Ab1-42 toxicity in the novel Alzheimer's disease model in C.elegans"
"Analysis of the effect of the molecular chaperone DNJ-13 on the Ab pathology in C. elegans"
"Analysis of the effect of unc-11 on the aggregation and pathology of Ab1-42 in C. elegans"
