Professor Matthias Bochtler, Head of the Laboratory of Structural Biology, has been awarded the NCN grant under DAINA 1 call for joint Polish-Lithuanian research projects. Prof. Bochtler will receive 1 634 500 PLN for 3 years to cooperate with Prof. Gintautas Tamulaitis from the Vilnius University on the common project  “CRISPR tools for the study of embryonic development in zebrafish”. The aim of the project is to develop CRISPR endonucleases into tools for targeted knockdown of RNA in vertebrates such as zebrafish that are not or not easily amenable to interfering RNA approaches.

We are searching for a post-doc and PhD student to join the project. Please see our job offers
