About the Lab for the Masters and PhD positions in Canada
The Prehna Lab is looking for enthusiastic MSc or PhD students to join the Department of Microbiology at the University of Manitoba, Canada.
The lab studies how bacteria communicate with their hosts, how they communicate with each other, and how they communicate with other micro-organisms. The supported graduate student positions are aimed at understanding the Type VI secretion system (T6SS) at the molecular level. A MSc or PhD student will research the role of accessory proteins that modulate the function of the T6SS(s) and how membrane proteins are loaded and secreted by the T6SS using structural, biochemical, and molecular biology techniques.
