Physical Virology: Biophysics of Individual Viruses

Física de la Materia Condensada C03
IFIMAC (Instituto de Física de la Materia Condensada)
We are looking for people with the Degree on Physics, or a Master Degree interested in making a PhD Thesis in our group, focused in studying the physical properties of individual viruses, in the framework of a project devoted to establish the interplay between these properties and viruses biological functions. The project also would include the study of artificial viral structures filled with synthetic cargos for applications in materials science and NanoBioTechnology.
Work includes the utilization of Atomic Force and Fluorescence Microscopies in liquid conditions. We offer a multidisciplinary and strong collaborative environment with multiple national and international (Germany, USA, Switzerland) groups.
