MasterNanosciences, nanotechnologies

Context.

Study of the stability limits of proteins. It will be done with several techniques: neutron scattering, DSC, FT-IR and CD with a special focus on high pressure conditions. We are aiming for a better understanding of protein stability and the conditions under which they unfold.
The student will participate in several experiments and data analysis. If we have beamtime at ILL, he/she will take part in an on-site experiment, which will be complemented by lab instrument experiments (DSC under pressure, CD, FT-IR) and modelling of the physical effects behind.

Expected skills

This internship is devoted to a student of the GS program Soft Nanosciences following the master Nanochemistry or the master Physics of Complex Systems. The student should have basis in biology, thermodynamics, Python
