Master and or Bachelor Thesis in Plant Pathogen Interactions (RG El Kasmi)
Our research group in the Department for Plant Physiology at the Center for Plant Molecular Biology (ZMBP), University of Tübingen, is offering the possibility for a highly motivated Master and or Bachelor (of Biology, Biochemistry or Cellular Nanoscience) student to do her/his thesis project in our lab.
We are currently working on the characterization of interactors of a plant immune receptor of the NLR family. We would like to validate the preliminary results (interactions observed in yeast-2-hybrid screen) and to further cell biologically, genetically and biochemically characterize the function of the identified proteins during (NLR-mediated) immunity.
The project will include the following methods:
• Molecular analysis (cloning, bacterial transformation, etc.)
• In planta Protein-protein interaction studies (co-immunoprecipitation, BiFC and FRET interaction assays)
• Genetic studies (crosses, genotyping, etc.)
• Plant infection assays
We offer an innovative and scientifically stimulating environment, a well-equipped lab as well as an international and cooperative research team.
For applying, please send an email with a short motivation statement to Dr. Farid El Kasmi at farid.el-kasmispam prevention@zmbp.uni-tuebingen.de

Master and/or Bachelor Thesis in Plant Biochemistry
Our research group in the Department for Plant Biochemistry at the Center for Plant Molecular Biology (ZMBP), University of Tübingen, is seeking highly motivated Master and Bachelor students.
Our department is working on the characterization of plant immunity receptors and their regulators, as well as downstream signaling pathways.
Projects generally include the following methods:
- Generation of plant mutants and their characterization
- Recombinant protein expression and purification
- In vitro and in vivo phosphorylation experiments
- Protein-protein interaction studies (co-immunoprecipitation, yeast two-hybrid and FRET-FLIM interaction assays)
- Molecular and physiological studies (cloning, real time-PCR, etc.)
- Plant infection assays
We offer an innovative and scientifically stimulating environment, a well-equipped lab as well as an international and cooperative research team. You should apply if you are a biology or biochemistry student who is enthusiastic about science and keen on learning new techniques.
For applying, please send an email with a short motivation statement (attachments as pdf-files only) to andrea.gustspam prevention@zmbp.uni-tuebingen.de
