Careers in Quality

DescriptionAn NIH-funded postdoctoral position is available immediately to conduct structural and biophysical studies of staphylococcal cell-surface proteins involved in host adherence and biofilm formation. The primary focus is to characterize the host ligand(s) for staphylococcal lectins responsible for skin colonization. The Herr Laboratory at Cincinnati Children's Hospital uses a wide range of biophysical and structural approaches to understand the structure, higher-order assembly, and ligand interactions of proteins implicated in staphylococcal pathogenesis. We have access to a cryoEM facility at the new Center for Advanced Str
