The tagged derivative will be used to pull out interacting proteins from cell lysates and target identification carried out through mass spectrometry-based proteomics. The PDRA will also synthesise nanoscale polyprodrug delivery systems and examine their release profile and biological activity.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/jobs.kent.ac.uk\/vacancy.aspx?ref=STM-138-20\">More details here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>For other <strong>postdoctoral positions<\/strong> within the group, please do get in touch to discuss support for applying for external funds.
