Understanding regulation of the regulators: the role of phosphatases in photosynthesis
Project Description. Photosynthesis is a key process in the quest to achieve increases in agricultural productivity and sustainability. Read more
Electrochemical synthesis of fluorinated piperidines
Piperidines are an important heterocycle that are frequently found in pharmaceuticals and blockbuster drug compounds. Fluorinated piperdines are especially interesting as the fluorine atom modulates the pKa of the piperidine and provides variation to the solubility, stability (metabolism) and potency of the compound.

Preclinical investigation of novel super-selective mTOR inhibitors in colorectal cancer
The development of potent and selective small molecules that mediate dose-dependent inhibition of a protein in its natural environment is essential to elucidate the role of such nominated target in normal and pathological settings [1]. Read more
Molecular basis for the architecture, function, and regulation of photosynthetic machinery
Applications will be reviewed until a suitable candidate is appointed. Photosynthesis provides food and energy for almost all forms of life and is arguably the most important biological process on Earth. Read more
Understanding why cardiovascular dysfunction is one of the leading causes of mortality in patients with Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver disease (NAFLD)
Background. Liver disease accounts for 3.5% of all global deaths/year (~2 million people) and is the third leading cause of premature death in the UK with some of the highest hospitalisations in the country seen in areas of socioeconomic deprivation. Read more
A next-generation genetic technology to identify biotechnologically-valuable enzymes and transporters.
DESCRIPTION. The Synthetic Physiology Laboratory at Flinders University (Adelaide, Australia) is advertising a full-time funded PhD project. Read more
Cell growth signalling in space: How does mTOR kinase communicate with diverse cellular compartments?
PROJECT IN BRIEF. This 4-year PhD project addresses the fundamental question of how individual cells sense and respond to environmental changes. Read more
