AstraZeneca-funded Non-clinical PhD Studentship (Biochemistry) (apply by 31 October)
Project title - Matchmaker: Prioritising the best cell line for expressing target proteins using CRISPR and machine learning. Applications are invited for a fully funded 4-year PhD studentship based in the Department of Biochemistry, University of Cambridge, and the new AstraZeneca Discovery Centre in Cambridge. The project will be jointly supervised by Dr Susanne Bornelöv (Biochemistry; https://www.sblab.uk) and Dr Lukas Westlake (AstraZeneca), and the successful applicant will have the opportunity to work across both sites.
The project sits at the interface of cell line engineering, protein science and machine learning and you will receive advanced training in these areas while developing methods to accelerate protein expression for biomedical applications.
