Continuing Education Scholarships Eukaryotic ubiquitin system is the key to protein degradation and regulation of cellular signaling pathways controlling major events such as the inflammatory response and apoptosis and therefore are often manipulated by microbial invaders (1). Viral proteins have been shown to interact with the enzyme ubiquitin path to avoid the immune response and cellular degradation and promotes cell survival for the benefit of the virus (2). This project will investigate the molecular basis of how proteins from human

viruses papillomavirus, which is the main cause of cervical cancer worldwide, the target enzyme human deubiquinating. We Continuing Education Scholarships will use X-ray crystallography, cell biology and biochemistry studies to characterize the interaction. In the second line of investigation we aim to discover small molecules that can modulate these interactions to study cell culture and pave the way for structure-based drug design. http://www.callforpapersinfo.com

The fully funded scholarship will pay tuition fees and pocket money of around £ 13,500 per year
