Seeing molecules in action: optical tweezers for understanding extracellular matrix polysaccharides

Project Description. How do proteins move along a single polysaccharide molecule? How does mechanical force change their behaviour? And how can interactions between individual molecules ultimately determine the properties of tissues?. Read more
 Supervisors: Prof RPR Richter, Prof W B Turnbull
 6 January 2027  PhD Research Project  Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)
