Fully Funded PhD in New Tools for Bioconjugation Using Novel Rearrangement Reactions University of York in United Kingdom

Two fully funded PhD studentships are open in the group of Professor Glenn Burley at the University of Strathclyde, in partnership with GSK. These projects sit at the interface of chemistry and biology and focus on nucleic acid-based therapeutics. Project 1: Next-generation RNA-PROTACs — a direct-to-biology discovery platform for the targeted degradation of RNA-binding proteins. The project will develop RNA-PROTACs assembled and assayed in cells, combining therapeutic oligonucleotide synthesis, ...

Industry-based PhD studentship at GSK R&D in collaboration with the University of Strathclyde, Department of Chemistry . The programme, titled “Building a Career in Drug Discovery at GSK” , offers PhD research in medicinal chemistry , chemical biology , or structural biophysics and in silico modelling . 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...

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...

P21) Sustainable diversification of therapeutic peptides via amino-carbonylation is a fully funded PhD project at the University of York , delivered through the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Chemical Synthesis for a Healthy Planet (CSHP CDT) with joint training across York and Oxford. The project focuses on peptide chemistry , organic chemistry , synthetic chemistry , and chemical biology . The research will develop new strategies to chemically modify peptides via late-stage, transition ...

University of Bath is recruiting a Postdoctoral Research Associate in an interdisciplinary project focused on mammalian cell biology , molecular biology , chemical biology , and peptide screening . The work will develop innovative intracellular peptide screening technologies to investigate and modulate transcription factor function in living mammalian cells. The post is hosted in Professor Jody Mason's research group at the University of Bath and is funded through a new BBSRC Pioneer Award . The...
