The synthesis of new bile acids for drug discovery - industry-sponsored PhD Scholarship – Ferrier Research Institute, Victoria University of Wellington
Ferrier’s steroid chemistry team is excited to announce the availability of an industry-sponsored PhD scholarship. This study is aimed at the synthesis of a new range of structurally modified bile acids for biological testing. Read more
The generation of new Penicillin variants
A PhD scholarship is available to synthesize and formulate new penicillin variants and examine their properties. It will involve the design and multi-step chemical synthesis of targets using techniques such as anhydrous reaction conditions, column chromatography, NMR, MS and HPLC. Read more
PhD Scholarship – Ferrier Research Institute, Victoria University of Wellington
The Ferrier Research Institute currently has funding available for a PhD scholarship. Read more
Chemical programming of mixed-matrix membranes for CO2 capture
About the project. Carbon dioxide (CO. 2. ) levels are causing a global environmental crisis. Mitigating this crisis will require new effective approaches to reducing CO. Read more
