Degree projects
Welcome to do your degree project at the Center for Molecular Protein Science.
Several experienced research group leaders can supervise your project, on Master's or Bachelor's level. It is common that you also get supervision in the lab from other persons, like postdocs or PhD-students, whereas the supervisors in the list below will have the main responsibility for your project.
You can click on the name of a supervisor in the list below to get to each supervisor's personal page in Lund University's Research Portal, where you can for example read a short comment about what the research group is working with, read a recent publication from that group and get the email address to each supervisor.
You can also search with the supervisor's names in LUP Student Papers to get a list of projects that have been supervised in the past. You can contact supervisors directly via email to decide on a personal meeting.
You can also first contact the head of teaching for a general discussion of the various possible projects and supervisors.
Research areas
The focus of the research activities is within some major areas of modern biochemistry, structural biology and biophysical chemistry, covering topics such as structure, function and dynamics of enzymes, membrane proteins, molecular interactions, large macromolecular assemblies. Biochemical and biophysical methods used are recombinant protein expression and purification, chromatography, spectroscopy, electrophoresis, mass spectrometry, surface plasmon resonance, dynamic light scattering, X-ray crystallography and NMR.
