PhD positions

Opportunities exist for self-funded research students in a variety of areas throughout the drug delivery, medicinal chemistry, pharmaceutical, biomaterial and biochemical sciences.

Projects include:

• Peptide hydrogels as a long-acting multipurpose drug delivery platform for combined contraception and HIV prevention.
• Enzyme-responsive peptide hydrogel as in situ forming long-acting drug delivery implants.
• Long-acting injectable peptide hydrogel implants for the treatment of chronic central nervous system disease (antipsychotics, opioid abuse).
• Peptide hydrogel implants for long-acting pre- and post- exposure prophylaxis to viral infection.
• Peptide hydrogels as novel nanotherapeutic delivery agents enhancing the anti-tumour efficacy of radiotherapy.
• Multifunctional peptide hydrogels as a chronic wound therapy.
• Low molecular weight antimicrobial peptide hydrogels for biomaterial applications.
• Peptide-like hydrogels: A post-surgical sustained release drug delivery implant for the treatment of glioblastoma brain tumours.
• Peptide-like hydrogels as long-acting injectable drug delivery platforms for the prevention of malaria.
• Peptide-like hydrogels as long-acting injectable drug delivery platforms for the prevention of tuberculosis
