Development of multi-functional cyclic peptide probes

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This project provides an exciting opportunity to develop new peptide-based targeting approaches for chemical biology and drug discovery. The student will be based in the recently refurbished state-of-the-art chemical biology laboratories in the Bedson building at Newcastle University, and will work alongside a team of experienced chemists, chemical biologists and molecular/cell biologists. The student will receive extensive training in cutting-edge methods in chemical biology, including encoded library technologies, peptide chemistry / synthetic chemistry, biophysical and biochemical and cellular assays, and will be supported by academic and industrial supervisors. The student will work closely with NovoNordisk, a global pharmaceutical company specialising in diabetes care and peptide therapeutics discovery. The student will have the opportunity to visit NovoNordisk in Copenhagen, Denmark, for industrial placements during the course of their PhD.
