Very happy our lab was awarded an ERC Advanced Grant. We will be looking to recruit several postdocs and PhDs soon :-) #ERCAdG European Research Council (ERC) Manchester Institute of Biotechnology

New PhD position available in our lab developing enzymatic routes to peptide therapeutic agents to combat infectious diseases, cancer & diabetes in collaboration with AstraZeneca, GSK and Merck. Deadline is soon (April 19, 2024). To apply follow this link: findaphd.com/phds/project/nā¦





A PhD position is available to join my group in TU Delft titled "Evolving Enzymes for New Chemistry" in the Department of Biotechnology Biocatalysis section Biocatalysis@TUDelft Applications open until 26-07-2024. Retweets much appreciated! tudelft.nl/over-tu-delft/ā¦




Sydney, Izzy, Guangcai, Puja, Waraporn and Elsa from our lab @MIBUoM had a great time at Directing Biosynthesis #DBVII. Many thanks to the organisers Royal Society of Chemistry. Looking forward to the next conference in this series DBVIII.


Scientists from The University of Manchester Micklefield Lab have discovered a greener, more efficient way to make peptide-based medicines. The new ligase enzymes can significantly reduce harmful waste and show promising effectiveness in combating cancers. Read more šmanchester.ac.uk/discover/news/ā¦
