Chemical proteomics of multisite fungicides
This PhD project, run in collaboration with Syngenta (. https://www.syngenta.com/en). and part funded by CAMS (Community for Analytical Measurement Science,. Read more
Self Funded BMS Project: Fragment-Based Lead Generation of Small Molecule Inhibitors of the Nsp3 Macrodomain in SARS-CoV-2 – Towards New Antivirals for the Treatment of COVID-19
Applications accepted for PhD Only. Background. Coronaviruses (CoVs) are important human pathogens and SARS-CoV-2 is responsible for the current COVID-19 pandemic (>260m cases, 5.2m deaths). Read more
Self funded BMS Project - Novel chemical tools for modifying protein structure
Chemically modified proteins can be used to understand, treat, and diagnose disease. However, relatively few chemical reactions can be used to modify proteins, severely limiting the diversity and applications of new technologies. Read more
Artificial metalloenzymes for catalysing new-to-nature reactions
In the Rhys lab we design and engineer peptides and proteins for new applications. For this project we are looking for a PhD student who is interested in developing new enzymes to catalyse reactions that are not known to occur in nature. Read more
Fully-funded 3.5-year dual PhD studentship to investigate the efficient, controlled delivery of synthetic anion carriers to cystic fibrosis epithelial cells
A 3.5-year dual PhD position is available at the University of Bristol and Macquarie University from January 2023. In this project, we aim to investigate the controlled delivery of artificial anion transporters (anionophores) to epithelial cells using innovative drug delivery platforms. Read more
A mechanism-led approach to reaction prediction
Background. The ab initio prediction of chemical behaviour has long been a holy grail for synthetic chemists as it will allow the targeting of the most efficient pathways to prepare high value commodity compounds. Read more

Membrane Separation in API Manufacture – Scoping and Performance Prediction
Separations are widely acknowledged to constitute 50-70% of the capital and operating costs of chemical processes. Membranes have been shown to offer significant potential improvements, offering major reductions in energy and reducing the high process mass intensity. Read more
Design and synthesis of chemical tools to interrogate G protein-coupled receptors
Research project. We are seeking a highly motivated PhD candidate to join an interdisciplinary team at the University of Otago, to undertake research developing chemical probes for G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). Read more
Trifluoromethylation using Copper-based Reagents and Catalysts (co-funded by Syngenta)
The late-stage incorporation of fluorine into drug or agrochemical targets is highly desirable due to the unique pharmacological properties conferred by fluorine such as enhanced lipophilicity, bioavailability, and metabolic stability. Read more
2D conductive polymers for quantum electronic devices
Conductive polymers – chemical compounds that consist of quasi-one-dimensional (1D) lattices of repeating molecular units – have long formed the functional building blocks for electronic components in molecular and organic electronics. Read more

Discovery of autophagy inhibitors for the treatment of pancreatic cancer
Autophagy is the natural process by which cells degrade and recycle proteins and other components, and also allows the turnover of damaged materials which can accumulate and cause problems for the cell. Read more
