Welcome to our group
Welcome at the website of the Joint Laboratory of Chemical Biology and Biophysical Chemistry operating at the Centre of New Technologies and the Division of Biophysics, Faculty of Physics, University of Warsaw. Our group is interested in the chemical synthesis, properties and applications of modified nucleotides and nucleic acids. Our research encompasses improving methods for the chemical synthesis of nucleotide analogs, designing new modified nucleotides as tools for molecular biology and conjugating nucleotides to labels, tags and new materials. One of our particular interests, is development of eukaryotic mRNA modifications, including cap analogs, with potential medicinal applications.
Post-doc position open
If you are looking for a post-doc position and are interested in the design and chemical synthesis of novel nucleotide analogs, please contact us for more details by email: Joanna.Kowalska@fuw.edu.pl.
