Molecular
Protein Science
Molecular protein science is about understanding
the intricate structural and functional communication of proteins in
living organisms. Understanding protein structure and function on the
molecular level forms the basis for biomedical and biotechnological
innovation and development in a great variety of fields. Modern protein
science is multidisciplinary and require expertise from diverse
scientific areas, from cell biology, microbiology, molecular biology and
biochemistry to sophisticated biophysical techniques like NMR, x-ray
crystallography and mass spectrometry. Unfortunately, the researchers in
the field have been split by historical divisions of biology or
chemistry, natural science or technology, leading to a suboptimal
research environment. In Lund, we have recently formed CMPS, a Center
for Molecular Protein Science, uniting 25 different research groups in
the field into one physical location. The research school activities are
meant to form a hub for all molecular research on proteins in Lund,
bringing together also those research groups who, for one or another
reason, could not physically join CMPS.
Metal
Sites in Biomolecules: Structure and Mechanisms
This is an
international graduate school where the University in Lund has a close
and good collaboration with the University in Göttingen. The school is
interdisciplinary with groups of chemists, molecular biologists,
biophysicists etc. The focus is on bioinorganic chemistry which is a
very important field within inorganic chemistry. By establishing this
graduate school students in Lund are given access to advanced
instruments not accessible in Sweden. The school includes 15 research
groups evenly divided between Lund and Göttingen. The focus in the
school is on workshops, short courses, lectures and seminars and long
visits at the partner institutions.
Genomic
Ecology Research School
Genomic ecology is a new
inter-disciplinary field at the interphase between ecology, evolution,
molecular biology, and genomics. By coupling processes at the molecular
level with organismal ecology, we attempt to understand how different
levels of organization, from genes to individuals, populations and
ecosystems, affect each other and result in the multitude of adaptations
that we see in nature. The Centre for Genomic Ecology (CGE) has been
given the opportunity to develop this field through a grant from the
Swedish Research Council, to run a graduate research school in genomic
ecology. The research school will enrol a total of 60 PhD students, of
which about half will be recruited from Lund University and the
remainder from universities in Sweden and other countries. Our vision is
to offer a program that provides high scientific knowledge and
competence, as well as supporting networking and career planning through
a mentoring program. We will offer our PhD students specialized courses
in methodology as well as in theoretical problems, travel grants,
contacts outside the university as well as regular meetings within the
research school.
HEP
EST High Energy Physics Graduate School, Marie Curie Human Resources and
Mobility
Lund-HEP EST is a graduate school to train eight
graduate students in Experimental and Theoretical High Energy Physics to
their PhD's. This training includes a PBL-based course-program to give
the advanced level theoretical competence needed for a future career as
researcher, pedagogical training and complementary training in,
entrepreneurship and management/leadership, and of course most
extensively training through supervised research in High Energy Physics.
MONET
Molecular Networks at Phase Boundaries (Marie Curie Early Stage
Researcher Training Network)
The MONET Marie Curie Early Stage
Researcher Training Network is concerned with the physics and chemistry
of supramolecular architectures at surfaces and their interaction with
gas and liquid phases. Our research interest ranges from the details of
the interaction of water with inorganic and organic surfaces over the
elucidation of organic reaction mechanisms at surfaces to the
construction of three-dimensional nanostructures and their interaction
with gases and liquids. Altogether, fourteen PhD-students at seven sites
in six European countries are trained in experimental and theoretical
nano- and surface physics and chemistry.
ELSA
European Leadership in Space Astrometry (Marie Curie Research Training
Network)
ELSA is a collaborative project in astronomy and space
technology, comprising 14 European institutes and financed by the EU
through the Marie Curie programme. The aim is to develop new or improved
theoretical models and numerical tools for the space based measurement of
stellar
positions, distances, motions, and their photometric and spectroscopic
characteristics. The project is part of the preparations for the launch,
around 2012, of the Gaia satellite, as planned by the European Space
Agency (ESA). The ELSA network finances 14 postgraduate and postdoc
positions at the participating institutes. The project started in
October 2006 and last for four years.
