Dr Gupta group at UT Health San Antonio is looking for a creative and self-motivated Postdoctoral Fellow to study the structures and mechanisms of nucleic acid enzymes. They will use X-ray crystallography, cryoEM, and enzyme biochemistry to address basic mechanistic questions and develop drug candidates.
Below are some of their recent publications:
eLife. 2022 Jan 21;11. PMID: 35060905. doi.org/10.7554/eLife.67150
Nature Communications. 2021 Jun 2; 12: 3287. PMID: 34078893. doi: 10.1038/s41467-021-23594-y
