In the NWO-Vidi project ‘Healthy sugars for a healthy gut’, a fully funded 4-year PhD position is available in the Chemical Glycobiology group of Prof. Marthe Walvoort, in the division of Chemical Biology at the Stratingh Institute for Chemistry, University of Groningen. Research in the Walvoort group is dedicated to understanding the structure-activity relation of carbohydrates, combining the powers of synthetic chemistry, biochemistry and microbiology. One research area deals with synthetic method development and production of health-beneficial oligosaccharide structures. The other research area is dedicated to the investigation of bacterial protein glycosylation to the point where we can start exploiting it to generate novel antibacterial therapies.
