Understanding the intricate interactions between microbes and the human body is crucial for unraveling the mechanisms of infectious diseases and developing effective therapeutic strategies. Our research endeavors have been primarily focused on elucidating human-microbe interactions, with a particular emphasis on systematic analysis of Escherichia coli proteome interactions. By probing the proteome of E. coli, aim to identify key molecular targets and pathways involved in bacterial pathogenesis and host immune response. In our laboratory, we have developed a cutting-edge high-throughput protein purification technique capable of purifying approximately 4800 E. coli proteins. Leveraging this novel methodology, we have created high-density proteome array chips by spotting these purified proteins onto various glass surfaces. These chips are invaluable tools for investigating diverse proteome interactions, ranging from nucleic acid- and peptide-based interactions to human cells, lipids, small molecule drugs, carbohydrates, and plasma.

We are seeking a highly motivated and enthusiastic research intern to join our dynamic laboratory team focused on investigating human-microbe interactions, particularly the systematic analysis of Escherichia coli (E. coli) proteome interactions. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to engage in cutting-edge research projects aimed at unraveling the molecular mechanisms underlying infectious diseases and host immune responses.

Benefits:
- Gain hands-on experience in cutting-edge research techniques and methodologies.
- Opportunity to contribute to impactful research projects aimed at understanding infectious diseases and host-pathogen interactions. - Mentorship and guidance from experienced researchers in the field.
- Exposure to a collaborative and dynamic research environment.
- Potential for authorship on scientific publications and presentations at conferences.

This is a full-time internship position with a duration of my lab at NCKU. We look forward to welcoming a motivated individual who shares our passion for advancing scientific knowledge in the field of human-microbe interactions. We will assist you in finding accommodation within walking distance of our lab to make your stay convenient and comfortable. Our lab meetings and discussions are conducted in English, providing an inclusive and accessible environment for international students.
