Background
A unique opportunity for a successful applicant to undertake research in novel polymer extraction technologies for enabling membrane research.
Membrane proteins are essential for life and provide the majority of targets in pharmaceutical and agrichemical development pipelines. However the methods used to produce these targets (most often based on detergents) are imperfect and often yield samples with low activity and stability. This project offers the exciting opportunity to work with an international multidisciplinary team to develop improved reagents for membrane protein production based on our successful Styrene Maleic Acid Lipid Particle technology. The outcome of the project will be novel reagents and protocols which will enhance membrane protein research globally.
Main Duties
* These indicative responsibilities may also be included in a research role at grade 6.
Person Specification
Skills and Knowledge
The applicant should be skilled in membrane protein production and study. This includes :
Informal enquires can be made to Timothy Dafforn, email: t.r.dafforn@bham.ac.uk or Naomi Pollock, email: n.pollock@bham.ac.uk
