  • Students of all nationalities are encouraged to apply. Candidates are selected irrespective of sex, race or nationality.

Available Research projects:

  • Karl Gruber: Active site cavity and molecular dynamics analyses of mammalian α/β-hydrolase domain (ABHD) containing proteins
  • Walter Keller: Structural and functional investigation of the low-affinity IgE receptor CD23
  • Tobias Madl: Deciphering the intricate interaction network in the β-catenin destruction complex
  • Tobias Madl: Targeting disordered transcription factors
  • Gustav Oberdorfer: Mapping of helical folding space using parametric design and high throughput experimental validation
  • Monika Oberer: Interactions of physiologically relevant lipases via dynamic regions
