About the project: How do molecular machines work that organize DNA inside our cells? Answering this question is the key to understanding molecular pathologies in diseases such as cancer and developmental disorders. In this project we will address it using the combination of state-of-the-art physical tools, cutting-edge biochemistry and computer simulations (if you are keen).
Our group at UCL has been at the forefront of developing technology and studying how protein complexes from SMC family work as molecular machines. We developed new tools to apply forces to single SMC complexes and discovered how single proteins generate force (Pobegalov et al., Nature Comm, 2023), visualized and measured how single complexes resist forces applied to DNA (Richeldi et al., Nature Struct and Mol Biol, 2023), and established tools to manipulate whole organelles including inside living cells (Chu et al., Nature Comm, 2024). Our group consists of biologists, physicists and others with diverse backgrounds. We will ensure that you will learn complementary skills preparing you to be a leader in interdisciplinary research.
