Self-Funded PhD Students Only
About the Project
We offer projects in polymer-biopolymer synthesis to develop biomimetic polymer-based materials for a range of applications. In addition to state of the art training in synthesis (monomer, polymer, peptide, polymer-biopolymer conjugation), we work in a multidisciplinary setting that enables further training in bioassays (e.g. cell-based bioassays, toxicity, intracellular location, bioaffinity binding studies) and advanced physicochemical characterisation (AFM, SANS, SAXS). Examples: Developing protein-polymer nanoparticle conjugates for cardiovascular disease, Developing biomimetic synthetic analogues of immunosuppressive glycoprotein-based materials, Developing bionanoreactors and catalysts.
Funding Notes
Candidates are expected to have a first class degree-or equivalent-with an inclination for organic or polymer synthesis, excellent disposition and attention to detail. Previous experience in the area is desirable
