In the ERC-StG project STICKY SUGARS, a 1-year postdoc 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. One research area deals with the investigation of bacterial protein glycosylation to the point where we can start exploiting it to generate novel antibacterial therapies. The other research area is dedicated to synthetic method development and production of interesting oligosaccharide structures.

Postdoctoral researcher Visualizing bacterial glycoproteins

What are you going to do?

With bacteria increasingly resistant to current antibiotics, new strategies to fight infection are needed. Bacterial adhesin proteins, which play an important role in the establishment of infection, appear to be promising targets for novel therapies. Adhesins enable the first contact between bacteria and host cells. We know that some adhesins are modified with highly unique sugars that are important for adhesin stability and adherence. However, we do not know how widespread this modification is among bacterial strains, and whether it constitutes a good target for antibacterial strategies. A lack of suitable methods for the detection of bacterial adhesin sugars has impeded the detailed study of these sugars, blocking further efforts to develop antibacterial strategies against bacterial adhesin sugars.

The goal of this postdoc project is to apply the newly developed visualization methods to a wide range of bacterial strains to screen for the presence of adhesin proteins. Using whole genome sequencing, the presence of the adhesin proteins will be validated.
