The Riemer lab (https://riemerlab.uni-koeln.de/) is part of the Institute for Biochemistry at the University of Cologne. We are interested in mitochondrial redox biology and biogenesis and their links to cellular metabolism, and employ a wide toolbox of biochemical and cell biological methods including state-of-the-art proteomics, biochemical reconstitution experiments, and genetically encoded redox sensors.
Your Tasks:
- The doctoral candidate will perform a project with the goal to understand how redox signals help mitochondria to communicate with the remainder of the cell, and how they affect mitochondrial outer membrane proteostasis.The doctoral candidate will employ a wide variety of biochemical and cell biological experiments including unbiased -omics experiments and approaches with genetically encoded fluorescent proteins to uncover molecular mechanisms underlying different aspects of redox signalling from and within mammalian mitochondria.
