Offer Description

The thesis project will focus on development of synthesis of compounds with possible biological applications.

Development of compounds that can affect biological systems is a slow and expensive process in many steps. One has to find compounds with desired effect and preferably also identify target proteins. In the research group we try to develop methods to improve this process, e.g. by simplifying the identification of the target of new bioactive compounds. The PhD-project will initially involve synthesis development to efficiently prepare compounds with possible biological effects. Later, the project might also involve development of methods to examine the biological effect of these compounds on a molecular level by mass spectroscopy.
