  Investigation of structure-activity relationship of ACE inhibitory peptides derived from food proteins
University of Reading Department of Food and Nutritional Sciences
  Assoc Prof P Jauregi, Dr K Jackson
Applications accepted all year round
"Milk proteins are a rich source of bioactive peptides with a range of apparent biological activities, eg. antihypertensive, antioxidant and antimicrobial.

  Cationic antimicrobial peptides as anticancer agents
University of Reading School of Pharmacy
  Dr R Green, Prof R A Frazier
Applications accepted all year round
Cationic peptides are widespread in nature where they play a key role in host defense within plants and animals. The mechanism by which these peptides interact with cell membranes potentially leads to these being less prone to antimicrobial resistance than conventional antibiotics.

  Computer simulation of metal-amyloid interaction and its role in plaque formation
Cardiff University Cardiff School of Chemistry
  Dr J Platts
Applications accepted all year round
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.

  A dynamic biomaterial-ligand tethering strategy for tissue engineering
University of York Department of Chemistry
  Dr C Spicer, Prof D K Smith
Application Deadline: 9 January 2019
Biomaterials that can trigger the repair of damaged tissues have the potential to revolutionise the way we treat disease. Materials that can present cells and tissues with powerful biochemical signals, through attached peptides, proteins, and carbohydrates, are particularly effective at controlling regeneration.

  Influence of membrane properties on peptide conformations
Masaryk University CEITEC
  Prof R Vácha
Application Deadline: 3 February 2019
Peptide and protein conformations are influenced by composition of phospholipid membrane, which they are interacting with.
Details
Type/Funding
  Development of molecularly imprinted polymer nanoparticles (nanoMIPs) specific for anti-AAV antibodies, their characterisation and application
University of Leicester Department of Chemistry
  Dr E Piletska
Application Deadline: 17 January 2019
The studentship aims at addressing the issue of pre-existing humoral immunity to Adeno-Associated Viruses (AAV), which is frequently found in humans, and prevents treatment with AAV vectors.
