PhD scholarship in biosynthesis of de novo proteins and peptides for PFAS-free biomaterials Technical University of Denmark in Denmark

Max Planck School Matter to Life in Germany is offering a fully funded, integrated five-year MSc/PhD programme for students interested in chemistry and interdisciplinary molecular sciences. The two-year Master’s phase takes place at Heidelberg University or the University of Göttingen and covers chemistry, molecular systems, synthetic chemistry, biophysics, biomaterials, synthetic biology, complex systems, and the chemistry of living systems. Students then progress to a three-year PhD research p...

This PhD project sits within BRIGHT , a mission-oriented research programme at the Technical University of Denmark focused on creating PFAS-free biomaterials through biotechnology. The work aims to build a general platform for designing protein- and peptide-based biomaterials , with solid-state battery components as the first testbed. The core research challenge is to replace fluorinated polymers with de novo designed proteins and peptides . The PhD researcher will generate the computational des...

DTU is advertising a PhD scholarship in molecular biology and bioreceptor engineering for biosensors within the BRIGHT institute in Kgs. Lyngby, Denmark . The project is part of the EU-funded Marie Skłodowska-Curie Doctoral Network BUG-ID and focuses on improving infection diagnostics by combining molecular biology , biotechnology , and nanotechnology . The research will initially center on identifying nucleic acid aptamers that target microbial biomarkers, with opportunities to explore alternat...

This PhD project is part of BRIGHT at the Technical University of Denmark, where researchers are building a general platform for designing protein- and peptide-based biomaterials. The first testbed is solid-state battery components, with the broader aim of replacing fluorinated PFAS polymers with de novo designed proteins and peptides. The project focuses on predictive modelling of long-timescale behaviour in designed proteins and peptides using generative molecular dynamics. A key goal is to un...

These four PhD positions are hosted by DTU Energy within BRIGHT ’s mission-oriented research programme on novel biomanufacturing-enabled materials. The project aims to create PFAS-free functional biomaterials and, in particular, to develop proteinaceous and polypeptide-based materials as sustainable alternatives to persistent fluorinated components used in batteries. The research spans an integrated pipeline from molecular design to biomanufacturing, materials processing and performance testing....
