Unlocking biocatalysts to synthesise new pharmaceutical modalities: Repurposing and engineering enzymes for amide synthesis and bioconjugation chemistry
About the Project. A fully funded PhD studentship (3.5 years) is available in the Schnepel Lab, Department of Chemistry, Durham University. Read more
Chemical origins of biological catalysis on early Earth
The chemical origin of life is one of the greatest unanswered questions in the natural sciences. how did life start on early Earth several billions of years ago? The short answer is we do not know yet. Read more
Peptidomimetic Inhibitors of Protein-Protein Interactions – A Sustainable Approach
Transient protein-protein interactions (PPIs) control all cellular processes (e.g. mitosis) (1) relevant to health and disease. Read more
Non-invasive Therapy for Soft Tissue Reconstruction: Applications in Cosmetics and Wound Healing
Soft tissue reconstruction is emerging as an important strategy to repair and replace diseased or damaged tissue that has been compromised due to tumour removal, injury, trauma, ageing, etc. Read more
Peptide-like hydrogels as long-acting injectable drug delivery platforms for the prevention of tuberculosis
Low to middle-income countries (LMIC) account for 95% of tuberculosis infections and deaths. Tuberculosis is currently the second highest infectious killer worldwide, after Covid-19, and is responsible for more deaths than HIV/AIDS. Read more
Peptide-like hydrogels as long-acting injectable drug delivery platforms for the prevention of malaria
There is an urgent need for new convenient drug delivery platforms to combat global health challenges in infectious disease, including malaria, and especially within low to middle-income countries (LMIC). Read more
Peptide-like hydrogels: A post-surgical sustained release drug delivery implant for the treatment of glioblastoma brain tumours
Glioblastoma is the most aggressive and malignant form of brain tumour with ~3,200 new cases annually within the UK and a median survival of 15 months. Read more
Peptide-like hydrogels as a long-acting multipurpose drug delivery platform for combined contraception and HIV prevention
HIV in women, girls and mother-to-child transmission in pregnancy remain a significant source of new infections and the needs of females are inadequately addressed. Read more
PhD in Chemistry: Computer simulation of metal-amyloid interaction and its role in plaque formation
Alzheimer’s disease is one of the greatest healthcare challenges facing 21st century society. AD is associated with formation of fibrils and plaques in brain tissue that impair proper functioning of neurons. Read more
Design of metallo coiled coil MRI contrast agents
This PhD project will develop a new class of MRI contrast agents. MRI is an essential tool for medical diagnosis. Contrast agents play a crucial role in improving the images obtained, and hence patient outcomes. Read more
Photoredox-Catalysed Stereoinversion and Deracemisation of Aliphatic Amines
This project is one of a number that are in competition for funding from the University of Bath URSA competition, for entry in September 2025. Read more

(BBSRC NWD) Discovery and high throughput characterisation of macrocyclic peptides against human protein phosphatase 1
Macrocyclic peptides have emerged as a promising drug modality due to high target selectivity and affinity. making them particularly attractive for ‘undruggable’ targets, such as those involving protein–protein interactions (PPIs). Read more
Natriuretic Peptides analogues as potential therapeutic and diagnostic tools for cardiovascular disease
We are pleased to invite applications for a fully funded four-year studentship within the Institute of Medical Sciences at the University of Aberdeen. Read more
Designing Molecular Architectures to Control Photochemical Reactions - PhD in Organic and Macromolecular Chemistry
Taking inspiration from the precise design of molecular architectures in nature, we are striving to design precise macromolecular architectures that can control chemical reactions and processes. Read more
