Postdoctoral researcher on the identification of antimicrobial peptides : Leiden, Netherlands

The postdoc will be working on the identification and mode of action of antimicrobial peptides. The project is funded by the Dutch Top Sector (NWO TKI-NCI) project Syngenopep. Our consortium will identify novel antibacterial peptides in the venoms of snakes, scorpions and spiders. In addition, many promising antimicrobial peptides were previously identified in actinomycetes, for which the structure and gene cluster have not or only partially been identified. These include both ribosomal peptides (RiPP; especially lantibiotics) and nonribosomal peptides (NRPS).
