We have a 6 month, fixed term PDRA position available in the group to start immediately.

The position will involve investigating the cryopreservation of tissue for transplantation, using our new technology inpsired by antifreeze glycoproteins. See our recent Nature Communications paper for background;

Deller, R.C., Vatish, M., Mitchell, D.A., Gibson, M.I., Nature Communications, 2014, 5, 3244, "Synthetic polymers enable non-vitreous cellular cryopreservation by reducing ice crystal growth during thawing" online link

Applicants MUST have extensive experience of cell culture techniques. This is NOT a synthetic position. In the first instance, you should contact Dr. Gibson directly and enclose a 2-PAGE CV, listing publications, experience and references.

We have 2 vacancies for talented students who with to pursue at Ph.D at the frontiers of polymer/protein chemistry and the life sciences.

In particular, this project will investigate the function of novel antifreeze-protein mimetic materials which may find use as novel cryoprotectants for e.g. organ storage.

The Leverhulme trust have awarded a signficant research grant to Matthew Gibson in collaboration with Rebecca Notman (Warwick Chemistry/Centre for Scientific Computing) for a combined experimental and theoretical study on the behaviour of bio-mimetic polymers. More information including vacancies arising will apppear shortly.

Funded (i.e. you get paid) bursaries are available to gain valuable lab experience during the summer vacation. This is an excellent way to improve you CV.
