Dear CCP4 community
We have a number of 4-year PhD posts advertised as part of our Molecular Sciences in Medicine Centre for Doctoral Training jointly run by Newcastle University and Durham University. This CDT provide trainings for a large cohort of PhD students in a single centre with significant added benefits above those provided by individual studentships. We provide broad training for students focussed on research at the interface of chemistry and medicine

While the 13 projects range from organic synthetic chemistry and biomedicine to biophysics, the following project have a strong focus on structural biology.
Sleeping superbugs – exploring key proteins in C. difficile spore formation led by Paula Salgado (paula.salgado@newcastle.ac.uk)
Harnessing tuberculosis toxins to manipulate bacterial growth led by Tim Blower (timothy.blower@durham.ac.uk)
and
New detection technologies for emerging infectious diseases (such as Covid19) led by Ehmke Pohl (ehmke.pohl@durham.ac.uk)
Please, contact me (ehmke.pohl@durham.ac.uk) or any of the supervisors for more information and/or an informal chat.
