Expanding the Chemical Universe: 3D Features Driving Next-Gen Synthesis Predictions
Background. Small molecule drug discovery projects are time-consuming and expensive. More than half of that cost and even more of the time of each project is taken up by chemical synthesis. Read more
Sustainable synthesis: reaction development and applications in synthesis
A PhD position is available in the group of Professor John Bower at the University of Liverpool (https://bowerresearchgroup.wordpress.com/). Read more
Mechanochemistry and the mechanical bond – sustainable methods for the synthesis of functional rotaxanes and catenanes
Background. Molecules are mechanically bonded if they are composed of two covalent subcomponents that are threaded through one another such that they can never separate even though there is no covalent bond between them. Read more
AI directed laser synthesis, patterning and manufacture of 2D materials
In this PhD studentship, the candidate will contribute to the development of a facile, low cost system exploiting direct laser printing of 2D semiconductor based nanodevices. . Read more
EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Technology Enhanced Chemical Synthesis (TECS)
Our PhD programme combines world-leading research in Chemical Synthesis with state-of-the-art training in technology and automation to prepare you for a career in modern synthetic chemistry, whether in industry or academic research. Read more
Stereoselective synthesis of mechanically chiral molecules for sensing and catalysis
Background – the stereoselective synthesis of mechanically chiral molecules. The stereoselective synthesis of chiral organic molecules is one of the core challenges in synthetic organic chemistry. Read more
Applying Large Language Model and Natural Language Processing approaches to automate processes in evidence synthesis and evidence triangulation
Evidence synthesis and evidence triangulation are both critical to deriving more complete and robust answers of causal relationships between risk factors and diseases. Read more
Benchtop NMR for Automated Analysis in High-throughput Reaction Screening
Background. Chemical synthesis is the cornerstone of modern science and technology, underpinning the development of new drug molecules, agrochemicals, advanced materials and technologies. Read more
Traceless Chemoenzymatic Peptide Synthesis
AstraZeneca/EPSRC-funded Industrial Doctoral Landscape Award (fully-funded PhD project, UK students only due to funding restrictions). Read more
The Controlled Synthesis of Polycatenanes – mechanically interlocked materials with designer properties
Background – the challenge of polycatenane synthesis. Linking rings in a chain is a familiar concept in the macroscopic world. Read more
