This project aims to functionalise β-peptides with organic conductors to create novel biocompatible conducting nanowires. Organic bioelectronics studies the development of devices that translate an electrical signal into a physiological response from cells, tissues or organs.
The adhesion of bacteria to surfaces and their subsequent ability to aggregate into colonies called biofilms is a significant problem in healthcare systems around the world.
The University of Sydney is looking for outstanding candidates who are looking to apply for a PhD position in chemical and synthetic biology, in the group of Dr Yu Heng Lau (http://sydney.edu.au/science/people/yuheng.lau.php).
3.5-year scholarship at UNSW Sydney, in Australia. A scholarship is available for a PhD candidate to develop functional organic molecules that respond to visible light, as part of a team of synthetic chemists within the School of Chemistry at UNSW Sydney, and international collaborators.
