Research Fellow positions 

We are looking for a Research Fellow to support the development of an enzyme-responsive peptide-mimetic hydrogel for the sustained parenteral delivery of antiretroviral drugs for HIV/AIDs. This is an MRC funded project with support available for a one year post.

Deadline: This position has now closed.

PhD positions

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

Projects include:

• Peptide hydrogels as a long-acting multipurpose drug delivery platform for combined contraception and HIV prevention.
• Peptide hydrogel implants for long-acting pre- and post- exposure prophylaxis to Covid-19.
• Peptide hydrogels as novel nanotherapeutic delivery agents enhancing the anti-tumour efficacy of radiotherapy.
• Multifunctional peptide hydrogels as a chronic wound therapy.
