PhD Studentship, Structural studies and medicinal chemistry of protein-ligand interactions

Project Supervisor(s): Dr M Paoli & Dr B Kellam

The action of drugs depends upon binding to their targets, in most cases proteins. Studying molecular recognition is fundamental to understand better both affinity and specificity. A project is available to study protein-ligand interactions. The research will involve the use of interdisciplinary techniques such as molecular biology, biochemistry, affinity chromatography, X-ray crystallography, medicinal chemistry, organic synthesis and structure-guided drug design.

Students should hold a degree in chemistry, biochemistry or pharmacy and have a strong interest in the molecular aspects of drugs and proteins. State-of-the-art equipment is available to carry out this work in the Centre for Biomolecular Sciences, which provides a superb and exciting training environment.

Due to research council regulations, this studentship is only open to UK citizens. The successful student will ideally be expected to commence their PhD in July 2007.

Informal enquiries may be addressed to Dr M Paoli, Email: Max.Paoli@Nottingham.ac.uk.

Applications, with a covering letter outlining research/scientific interests and a detailed CV, together with the names and addresses of three referees, should be sent to Dr M Paoli, Centre for Biomolecular Sciences, The University of Nottingham, University Park, Nottingham, NG7 2RD. Email: Max.Paoli@Nottingham.ac.uk.
