Master degree project: Environmental chemicals’ effect on an in vitro model with a synchronized circadian rhythm, IOB, UU
The circadian clock affects most living things: from humans and other animals, to plants and microbes. In humans it is mainly mediated by the light-dark cycle and regulates processes such as hormone release via gene expression throughout the day. Almost half of our genes are thought to be under circadian control, pointing out the importance of this internal clock. The relevance of the circadian clock has been studied in fields such as progress and treatment of diseases like metabolic disorders, cancers, cardiovascular diseases and sleeping disorders, but also in the context of the xenobiotic response in an organism. Several recent studies have proposed that the body’s response to pharmaceuticals and environmental chemicals may potentially differ depending on the time of the day for the exposure. Here is a chance for you to take part in a project meant to investigate if neurotoxic effects of chemicals in vitro differ between cells with synchronized and asynchronized circadian rhythm, and if the effects vary between different time points of the circadian cycle.

Master's thesis project at Vattenfall R&D, Älvkarleby
Offshore wind energy is rapidly developing in recent years as an important green energy resource. Steel monopile foundations are the most common foundations for offshore wind turbine support towers. Microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) of steel in marine environment can cause safety and environmental risks for steel monopile foundations and lead to significant financial loss due to increased maintenance costs. This master’s thesis position at Vattenfall R&D, Älvkarleby, will focus on MIC of steel. The topic is relevant for biology or engineer students interested in industrial microbial ecology. Besides gaining work experience in one of the leading energy industries in Sweden, the student will also be entitled to obtain a study grant upon successful completion of the thesis project.

Master thesis on using a bioinformatics tool, "funMotifs", for finding functional TF binding/regulatory DNA motifs, ICM, UU
Identification of transcription factor (TF) motifs with potential regulatory impact on gene expression is problematic due to a lack of functional characterization of TF motifs. However, the funMotifs framework enables identification and analyses of significant regulatory TF motifs in noncoding regions of the human genome. This project, suitable for a master degree project, aims to finalize an update of funMotifs to incorporate the latest genome annotations based on close to 1 million regulatory elements. Another aim is to develop a module for the identification of de novo TF motifs and merge the module into the funMotifs framework.

PhD in Evolutionary Genomics, IEG, UU
Structural Variants (SVs) encompass a broad variety of (macro-)mutations from hundred nucleotides up to large parts of chromosomes (e.g., large-scale deletions / duplications, inversions). SVs are so common in eukaryotic genomes that the amount of genetic diversity they explain is higher than that explained by single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). However, mainly for technical reasons, SVs have so far been little studied and our understanding of key evolutionary processes is therefore incomplete. Interested in helping shed more light on SVs? ... then read on!

Protein misfolding and its prevention by BRICHOS domains, ICM, UU
Interested in doing a degree project/research training/project work on this topic? The formation of misfolded protein deposits, characterized by the accumulation of amyloid fibrillar structures, is linked to debilitating diseases with significant socio-economic impact, such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and type 2 diabetes. However, the number of protein misfolding diseases is quite limited which implies that current living organisms likely possess inherent quality control mechanisms to mitigate these challenges. One such remarkable defense mechanism is the recently identified anti-amyloid chaperone domain BRICHOS, with a broad spectrum of substrates. These domains represent a largely unexplored reservoir of natural defense molecules against amyloid-related pathologies. Do you want to help shed more light on these processes and their potential to serve therapeutic purposes?

PhD student position on reptile diversity and conservation, Montpellier, France and Porto, Portugal
Shortfalls of biodiversity knowledge strongly impede effective conservation, for both species- and areabased strategies. Arid habitats are often perceived as having little conservation value due to their impoverished communities. Yet, these communities are made of many endemic, specialized species with unique adaptations. Many populated arid areas are also degraded due to anthropogenic activities. Arid steppes are even amongst the most threatened habitats in North Africa and the Middle East because their fertile soil make them valuable to agriculture. Here is a three year PhD position meant to study reptile diversity and conservation in North Africa and the Middle East.
PhD: Improving conservation of biodiversity in arid habitats using reptile communities as

Master thesis on the expression and purification of the peripheral membrane protein BAR, KTH
Peripheral membrane proteins, like BAR proteins (often intimately involved in conformational changes of membrane topology), are soluble proteins that bind to membranes. BAR proteins change their conformation upon binding to the membrane. Many of the BAR protein’s functions in cells can be tested and investigated in reconstituted systems. The main focus of this project will be to find the appropriate expression system and purification strategy for it, in order to ultimately/later on be able to reconstitute it into artificial membranes and study its structure/structural transitions by cryoEM.

Master projects on buzz pollinating bees and flower evolution, IEG, UU
During buzz pollination, bees use their powerful thoracic muscles to shake pollen out of flowers, producing an audible sound or “buzz”. Buzz pollination has evolved in 20,000 species of flowering plants, and about half of all bee species. Yet, we still know little about why some bees but not others buzz pollinate, and how evolution has shaped flower and bee characteristics to fine tune buzz pollination. Here are interesting opportunities to do a degree project or possibly a research training or project work (consult with the supervisor!) on the intricacies of buzz pollination and its links to flower evolution. If this sounds interesting to you, please continue reading in the appended pdf!

Master degree project on lymphatic metastasis and its effects on tumor immunity, IMBIM, UU
Lymph nodes are hubs for our adaptive immune response and among other things they are essential for the induction of anti-tumor responses. But lymph nodes are also one of the earliest places where tumors may metastasize. We still do not fully understand which properties in tumor cells facilitate metastasis or how metastasis to the lymph nodes affects their ability to mount anti-tumor responses. Here is a chance for motivated students with interest in experimental cancer models, flow cytometry and imaging to help find answers to some of these intriguing and contradictory observations.
