Using antibodies as templates to develop small molecule anti-complement drugs to deliver to Alzheimer’s brain.
The School of Medicine, Dementia Research Institute (DRI) at Cardiff University is delighted to offer a full time three years funded Alzheimer's Society Studentship starting on 3rd October 2022. Read more
In situ HDX-MS of membrane protein-ligand interactions
The project aims to develop an HDX-MS workflow to profile ligand-membrane protein interactions. The identification of hits with high selectivity constitutes an important landmark for the design and development of novel therapeutics. Read more
Using structural biology to develop drugs and improve genetic testing for polycystic kidney disease
Are you looking for a PhD in structural and computational biology applied to drug development for human diseases?. Read more
Structure and function of Batten disease proteins
The neuronal ceroid lipofucscinoses are a group of inherited neurodegenerative disorders with primarily childhood onset. The most common form, also known as Batten disease or CLN3 disease, is caused by recessively inherited mutation in the CLN3 gene. Read more
mRNA epigenetics: Charaterization of a novel layer of gene regulation for essential brain functions
Research Group:
BBSRC MIBTP
For over 40 years we know about modified nucleotides in mRNA, but the functions for these essential modifications are largely elusive. Read more
Elucidating the mechanisms of outer membrane biogenesis in Gram-negative bacteria
The emergence of bacteria that are resistant to available antibiotics represents an enormous and growing global threat requiring new targets and strategies to combat infection. Read more
Pre-graduate Position in “Neutron Scattering & HDL remodeling by SARS CoV 2 Spike protein”
The IBF is a joint research centre of the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) and the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC). Read more
BeAST: Bio-electrochemical Applications for Sustainable Technologies
Use of fossil fuels by humans has littered the planet and increased greenhouse gas emissions in the air leading to a Climate Emergency. Read more
Identification and characterisation of novel flavivirus protease cleavages sites in mammalian and insect cells using N-terminomics
Positive sense single stranded RNA viruses translate their large open reading frames as a polyprotein that is cleaved by viral and/or host proteases to release mature viral proteins. Read more
Structural and biological characterisation of virulence factor in Gram-negative pathogens affecting aquaculture
Gram-negative pathogens are responsible for major disease problems in humans and animals, and a better understanding of the mechanisms for how these bacteria cause infections is key to identifying more effective ways to prevent and treat outbreaks. Read more

Ultrastructural insights into avian herpesvirus-host cell interactions
Marek’s disease virus (MDV) is a major avian alphaherpesvirus associated with Marek’s disease (MD) in poultry characterised by rapid-onset T-cell lymphomas, immunosuppression and paralysis causing annual economic losses of around $2 billion worldwide. Read more
Probing enzyme reaction cascades in antibiotic biosynthesis at atomic resolution by NMR
Polyketide biosynthetic pathways generate vast numbers of diverse compounds that represent one of the largest collections of chemical structures with biological… Read more
Next Generation High-Speed Atomic Force Microscopy in the Wolfson Imaging Facility
Research Group:
School of Physics and Astronomy
To better understand diseases and to develop new treatment options, we need to understand very fast biological processes occurring at single molecule level. Read more
Engineering carbohydrate-active enzymes to enable continuous-flow biocatalysis.
To overcome the biggest health challenges facing society, we must learn how our cells operate at a fundamental level. Read more
Modulation of Protein Function using Molecular Imprinting
Molecularly Imprinted Polymers (MIPs) are simple, elegant biomimetics that incorporate binding sites bearing steric and chemical functionality complementary to a given target. Read more
