Junior Research Fellow (JRF)

Title: Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs) Comprised of Dimetal Units and Multi-Atom Organic Linkers
This project aims at synthesizing and structurally characterizing novel metal organic frameworks as well as their use in various applications. It will require broad synthetic skills with experience in handling air and moisture compounds under standard Schlenk line techniques and Glove box conditions. Additionally, it is expected to learn and use several analytical techniques to characterize the new compounds.

Title: Elucidating the role of 5-oxoprolinases in Saccharomyces cervisiae in the light of the truncated g-glutamyl cycle in of yeasts
This project is aimed toward understanding the mechansisms of glutathione homeostasis in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiase which lacks some of the key enzymes of the g-glutamyl cycle of glutathione biosynthesis and degradation. The project would involve work with the proteins and enzymes of this pathway and their molecular characterization.
