Ph.D. opportunities in Shanghai-London international biophysics group
We are looking for students coming to Shanghai Jiao Tong University to do their Ph.D. program at the Institute of Natural Sciences. Our research is at the interface of physics, biology, mathematics, computer science and chemistry. Topics include the design of synthetic membrane-active peptides and peptide-biomolecule conjugates as diagnostics, therapeutics, and drug delivery vehicles for anti-bacterial, ant-viral and anti-cancer treatment. We use biomolecular simulations and AI models to study peptide and nanoparticle delivery across membranes and endothelia cells, and develop atomic detail membrane models of the blood brain barrier and bacterial membranes.
Our group is deeply linked with King’s College, London and there will be ample opportunities to engage in collaborative visits to the UK. Come and join an international group of students and post-docs working at the forefront of bioscience simulation and modeling, with extensive international collaboration in China, the USA, and Europe.
Applications should include a cover letter, CV and 2 reference letters.
