Fully Funded PhD in Chemical Biology and Protein Engineering at the University of Edinburgh University of Edinburgh in United Kingdom

EASTBIO(CASE) PhD project at the University of Edinburgh on engineering fluorescent non-canonical amino acids for quantitative imaging of protein therapeutics trafficking . This project addresses a key question in cell biology and biochemistry: how proteins are sorted, recycled, and degraded in the endolysosomal system, and how engineered biologics behave inside live cells. The research will develop genetically encoded, environment-responsive fluorescent amino acids and use fluorescence lifetime...

PhD opportunity at the University of East Anglia in Click-to-Connect Cytochromes: Modular Components for Sustainable Electrical Circuits . This project sits at the intersection of biochemistry , biophysics , biotechnology , molecular biology , physical chemistry , and structural biology . The research will engineer cytochromes for site-selective covalent linkage to multiple redox partners and electrodes, aiming to create proof-of-principle protein-based electronic circuitry. The work builds on p...

The project is co-supervised by Strathclyde chemistry academics and a senior GSK scientist, with research aligned to modern drug discovery. Research themes include design and development of moder...

Imperial College London’s Department of Chemical Engineering is advertising a funded PhD project in engineering synthetic cells for next-generation biotechnology . The project is led by Prof Yuval Elani and the Elani Group , a multidisciplinary team working across chemical biology , synthetic biology , and molecular bioengineering . The research aims to design, construct, and test synthetic cell-like systems built from biological components such as membranes, proteins, nucleic acids, and molecul...

Two PhD candidates are sought to join the lab at the University of Göttingen as part of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Doctoral Network FlexCAT . The network brings together academic and industry partners to develop innovative strategies to study and target intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) in proteins . The available doctoral projects are: • DC 9 : Structure-based design of peptide-derived β-catenin inhibitors with Rhys Morgan , focusing on peptide synthesis and biophysics . • DC 10 : Semi-sy...
