PhD in Peptide TFEB Activation for Neurodegeneration

Nuclear Inst in collaboration with the University of Bath invites applications for a PhD project exploring peptides that directly activate TFEB to boost cellular waste clearance in neurodegenerative disease models. You will combine computational design, biochemistry and cell biology to pursue three linked objectives: discover TFEB-binding peptides, understand their mechanism, and test cellular recycling.

You will work across Bath and Bristol labs, training in structural analysis, NMR and
