Master’s Opportunities in Nanoscience in United Kingdom

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 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, ...
