PhD in Chemistry
Organization: CIC biomaGUNE
Location: San Sebastian, Spain
Field: Chemistry
Abstract:
University of Liverpool in partnership with CIC biomaGUNE in San Sebastián have established an inter-disciplinary 4 year PhD studentships where the successful candidate will spend two years in Spain and two in Liverpool. Studentships are open to candidates from any of the European country including Spain and UK
Description:
PhD studentship for chemical biology of heparin glycans. Supervisors Prof Jerry Turnbull (Liverpool) and Dr Niels Riechardt and Prof Manuel Martin-Lomas (CICbiomaGUNE). The heparin/heparan sulfate family of complex glycans are important cellular regulators of the activity of proteins including growth factors and enzymes of therapeutic relevance. This project is on the development and application of novel methods for exploring the structure-function relationships of these molecules. The project’s aims will be to design and synthesise heparin mimetics for testing in bioassays, along with developing novel tools for understanding heparin-protein interactions and biology (including on-chip glycan synthesis using mass spectrometric reaction analysis and glycan molecular imaging probes). The student will receive training in advanced glycan analysis (including glycoarrays and mass spectrometry), glycan synthetic chemistry and bioassays.
