The Patel structural biology lab is set to
open on March 1, 2016 in the Department of Biology at the Southern University
of Science and Technology of China (SUSTech) in Shenzhen. SUSTech, located in picturesque
and environmentally healthy Shenzhen, is a new University that aims to become a
world-leader in Sciences and Engineering. The structural biology component of
the program consists of innovative, vibrant, and interactive research groups supported
by state-of-the-art newly set up biochemical, molecular biology and structural
core facilities.
Three technician positions are open in the Patel lab
at SUSTech. The Patel lab applies structural biology approaches (currently
x-ray and NMR, as well as cryoEM in the future) to study various aspects of RNA
structure and catalysis, RNA interference mediated pathways, histone and DNA
mediated epigenetic regulation, and cytoplasmic DNA sensors mediating the
interferon response.
