We have 70 Synthetic Chemistry PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships for European Students (exc UK)
P11. The development of photodynamic surfactants: a new modality to tackle anti-microbial resistance (CSHP CDT)
There is increasing interest in the use of surfactants to tackle key elements of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Read more
P10. Catalytic asymmetric cross-coupling reactions using non-precious metals (CSHP CDT)
Asymmetric cross-coupling technologies are powerful techniques that represent the state-of-the-art in the construction of chiral small molecules. Read more
P9. Electrochemical control over oscillating chemical reactions (CSHP CDT)
Out-of-equilibrium chemical processes related to synthetic chemistry are not well understood. We have developed oscillating chemical reactions, which involve both molecular and supramolecular (micelles, vesicles, etc) oscillations, and may serve as the basis for developing new processes. Read more
P7. Metal catalysed synthesis of complex stereochemically defined nitrogen heterocycles (CSHP CDT)
This project contains exciting opportunities for the production of complex stereochemically defined ‘3D’ heterocycles from simple, easily prepared, ‘2D’ aromatic precursors. Read more
P6. Enantioselective Synthesis, Medicinal Chemistry Applications and Antimicrobial Activity of New Chiral Phosphorous (V) Building Blocks (CSHP CDT)
Molecules containing stereogenic phosphorous (V) atoms are commonplace in bioactive medicines and agrochemicals ranging from. Read more
P5. New metal-free catalysts for organic synthesis (CSHP CDT)
The design of new non-precious metal catalysts and organic catalysts is key to modern reaction innovation and sustainability. This project will involve, the design and synthesis of a new range of chiral organocatalysts bearing chiral heteroatoms. Read more
P2. New applications of thiophene-S,S-dioxides in sustainable synthesis (CSHP CDT)
Thiophene S,S-dioxides (TDOs) are convenient but underutilised building blocks in organic chemistry. This project will seek to develop new applications of TDOs in sustainable chemical synthesis. Read more
(MRC DTP) On a hunt for more powerful, disease-specific anticancer therapy: targeting components of the mitochondrial and endoplasmic reticulum contact sites to prevent cancer initiation and progression
Background. Mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) contact sites (MERCs) are subcellular locations where the two organelles are juxtaposed. Read more
(MRC DTP) Design of integrin inhibitors as small molecule modulators of fibrosis
Integrins are a family of protein receptors that play a major role in cell survival, growth and migration. Their function is to transmit signals across the cell membrane by undergoing an elegant large scale structural rearrangement. Read more
(MRC DTP) On a quest to find a cure against Alzheimer’s disease: selective demolition of proinflammatory microRNAs
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterised by chronic progressive loss of neurons and microglial activation, leading to severe functional impairment. Read more
P26. Metal-free catalysis to make and break C-F bonds (CSHP CDT)
Fluorine-containing molecules are essential in a wide range of applications, including in many pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Read more
P1. Improving the sustainability of propellane chemistry (CSHP CDT)
Bicyclo[n.1.1]alkanes (BCAs) have emerged as important building blocks in contemporary drug design, serving as useful building blocks that can substitute for aromatic rings, leading to improved physicochemical and pharmacokinetic profiles of drug candidates. Read more
P28. Late-Stage Oxygenation of Medicinally Important Bridged Bicyclic Hydrocarbons using Unspecific Peroxygenases (UPOs) (CSHP CDT)
We will establish methods for the synthesis of novel, medicinally important bridged bicyclic hydrocarbon (BBH) scaffolds using late-stage oxygenation enabled by unspecific peroxygenase (UPO) enzymes. Read more
P3. Functional Sugar-derived Polymers for Sustainable Agricultural Applications (CSHP CDT)
Beyond plastics, polymers play a vital role in our lives as key ingredients of liquid formulations. They are found in millions of everyday products, from the shampoo in our bathrooms to the paint on our walls. Read more
P20. Stable Organometallic Gels for sp3-sp2 and sp2-sp2 Negishi Cross-Coupling (CSHP CDT)
Air- and moisture-sensitive organometallic reagents are a key tool in modern synthetic chemistry and enable a wide range of powerful synthetic transformations. Read more
