The work will involve synthesis of derivatives of a natural product and examination of cellular effects, in order to identify a biologically suitable site for the attachment of covalent modifier tag. The tagged derivative will be used to pull out interacting proteins from cell lysates and target identification carried out through mass spectrometry-based proteomics. The PDRA will also synthesise nanoscale polyprodrug delivery systems and examine their release profile and biological activity.
You will be involved in the design and execution of the experimental work and will liaise directly with counterparts in Viet Nam through emails and Skype and attending joint project meetings.
The post is EPSRC funded through a Global Challenges Research Fund. As this is a collaboration with Vietnamese partners, travel to Viet Nam will be a key component of the post.
