Thesis: Functional and structural study of the ubiquinone biosynthesis complex in E. coli

Abstract: Unravelling the protein complex (metabolon) behind ubiquinone production: purification and structural analyses (cryo-EM and mass spectrometry) of ubiquinone biosynthesis proteins.

"I am Tuan-Anh, a dedicated microbiologist with a Master's degree from the Grenoble University. My journey into research was ignited by a fascination for cellular mechanisms, particularly in the field of bioenergetics. Delving into the ubiquinone biosynthesis in E. coli, a complex yet pivotal aspect of microbiology, was a choice driven motivated by both my curiosity and by the opportunity to acquire diverse skills. This topic offers a rich learning ground in advanced techniques like cryo-EM and protein purification, enhancing my skills in molecular biology and structural analysis. Attending CBH Graduate School was a strategic choice that matched my aspiration to be at the forefront of microbiological research. Its renowned academic environment and state-of-the-art resources provide an ideal setting for my thesis work. Looking beyond my thesis, I aim to leverage these experiences and skills in a career that delves deeper into microbial processes, potentially impacting medical and environmental fields through innovative research.
