Description

 The University of Twente offers a PhD position focused on understanding how rare, misfolded proteins evade quality control mechanisms in neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's. The candidate will explore intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) using advanced techniques such as single molecule fluorescence microscopy and spectroscopy. This exciting research opportunity combines physics, chemistry, and biology to investigate protein misfolding and aggregation, aiming to contribute to the understanding of neurodegenerative diseases.
