PhD Molecular Biophysics in Preston United Kingdom | University of Lancashire

The group specializes in exploring how amphiphilic bioactive molecules function based on their structure, while also developing innovative biomaterials. This interdisciplinary team combines expertise from various fields such as biology (including cell biology and microbiology), chemistry (encompassing biochemistry and synthetic chemistry), physics (covering biophysics and nanophysics), and computational modeling to: Examine how helical peptides and other bioactive amphiphilic compounds work and pinpoint their molecular targets Conduct structure-activity research to enhance the antimicrobial effects and cancer-fighting potential of membrane-active amphiphilic compounds Create computational approaches for detecting and evaluating crucial functional traits of medically relevant amphiphilic molecules.
