Case PhD Opportunity with University of Nottingham and Bactobio
Natural products are incredibly diverse and complex. These small molecules are produced by microbes as secondary metabolites to facilitate their interaction with other organisms. One third of new small molecule drugs since 1981 are derived from natural products and some 80% of all existing antibiotics derive from soil bacteria including our most critical antibiotics, such as vancomycin and erythromycin. This project will combine expertise of the O’Neill lab in high throughput molecular networking and genome mining alongside Bactobio’s unique species library and industrial experience to take a chemistry-first approach in discovering novel natural products for application in pharmaceutical or agritech industries.
