PhD Studentship: Cyclic peptide discovery for intracellular protein targets

challenges in peptide therapeutics discovery for intracellular targets lies in achieving reliable cell penetration. Unlike Lipinski’s 'rule of five' which can guide small molecule drug design, there is

PhD studentship in Mechanical Engineering - Project VISION: Evaluating and modelling the performance characteristics of intraocular forceps

with precision and control. These vitreoretinal forceps are used in 70-80% of all retinal surgeries, which is approximately 24,000 cases a year in UK alone, and over a million globally. Currently tip
