Ger Strous’s group at UMC Utrecht and DDF Research Group General description: I’m a PhD student in DDF, working in Ger Strous’s group at UMC Utrecht. The general aim of my project is to elucidate the binding characteristics of the interaction between Growth Hormone Receptor and beta-TrCP at the molecular and cellular level. The final goal is to find/design a drug that can specifically disturb this interaction without interfering with the interaction of beta-TrCP with other substrates in the cell.
