Join us as a Technician at the Centre for Programmable Biological Matter!
At the Centre for Programmable Biological Matter, we are interested in understanding, designing and building natural and artificial bionanomachines. We ask – can we design artificial versions of such machines to carry out processes not available or possible in nature? The ability to design functional, dynamic proteins will revolutionise medicine. It will mean new capabilities in vaccines and drug including nanoscale medicine that can be programmed and can self-propel. We have established the Centre of Programmable Biological Matter (CPBM) as to spearhead research in this area.
