Description<\/strong><\/td>\nPlasmodium parasites, the causative agents of malaria, infect hepatocytes and red blood cells (RBCs). Within these cells, parasites are surrounded by a parasitophorous vacuole membrane (PVM). Consequently, for their release from host cells and to propagate their infection, parasites have to disrupt the PVM and the host cell membrane. How this membrane rupture occurs on a molecular level and how it is controlled is only partially understood and only a very limited number of parasite proteins involved in this process have been identified so far. We previously showed that a parasite phospholipase mediates PVM rupture during parasite egress from hepatocytes. Whether parasite phospholipases are similarly involved in parasite release from RBCs is not known and most of the Plasmodium phospholipases are not characterized. In this project, we thus would like to functionally analyze the role of phospholipases of the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum during its development within red blood cells.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Requirements<\/strong><\/td>\nWe are looking for a highly motivated and enthusiastic PhD student with a strong background in cell and molecular biology. Candidates should have a master\u2019s degree in molecular cell biology, biochemistry or equivalent disciplines. Excellent knowledge in English (speaking, reading, writing) is required. The candidate should be able to independently solve problems and have a willingness to learn new techniques and to work in a team.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
