Monash-Warwick Joint Doctoral Programme In Innovation - Research Photo-activated Nanoparticle-based Therapeutics

Photo-activated Nanoparticle-based Therapeutics


Supervisors:
Professor Peter Sadler (Warwick, Chemistry)
Dr Vas Stavros (Warwick, Chemistry)
Professor Leone Spiccia (Monash, Chemistry)
Professor Don McNaughton (Monash, Chemistry)
Dr Bim Graham (Monash, Pharmacy and Pharmacology)

This project is concerned with the design, synthesis and activity of nanoparticles derivatised with photoactivatable metal anticancer complexes and targeted to cancer cells.

It combines the complementary expertise of the supervisors in synthesis, photochemistry, photobiochemistry, photophysics, nanotechnology and molecular pharmacology.

The student will be based at Warwick, but spend periods of time also at Monash. Applicants should possess a BSc and preferably also a Masters degree in Chemistry or a related subject, and have an interdisciplinary and international outlook on research. Applicants should preferably hold degrees at graded first class and with distinction.
