PhD Studentship in Glycosaminoglycan Research

6 days ago


Nottingham, Nottingham, United Kingdom University of Nottingham Full time

Project Overview:

The University of Nottingham is seeking a highly motivated PhD student to join an extensive team of scientists delivering a BBSRC strategic Longer and Larger project. The project aims to isolate a range of recombinant antibodies that bind to glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), producing highly specific probes. The student will use the latest developments in antibody phage display technology, coupling the binding of vast antibody-phage libraries with the screening power of next generation sequencing (NGPD).

Research Objectives:

  • Isolate recombinant antibodies that bind to GAGs
  • Characterise binding against breast cancer cell populations and defined GAG structures
  • Develop highly specific probes for GAG detection and characterisation

Supervision:

The student will be embedded within a highly active phage-display group at the University of Nottingham and have the opportunity to interact with the whole Glycoweb team, visit collaborator's labs, and extend their research knowledge and collaborator network.

Requirements:

  • Minimum of a 2.1 undergraduate biological science degree or a minimum of a 2.2 degree and a Master's degree in a related subject

Further Information:

Applicants should have a strong background in biological sciences and a keen interest in glycosaminoglycan research. The successful candidate will have excellent communication and teamwork skills, as well as the ability to work independently and manage their time effectively.
