Applications are currently open for this fully funded studentship.
In this PhD project, you will integrate molecular biophysics, organic synthesis, drug screening technologies, and structural biology to develop chemical tools that stabilize disease-relevant protein complexes in neurodegenerative conditions. Key research questions include:
- Can native protein–protein stabilization relocalize proteins to the nucleus?
- Can novel fragment drug discovery screening approaches accelerate the discovery of molecular glues?
- Can new mechanisms of action for disease-relevant molecular glues be identified and exploited?
