Position 1: As a PhD candidate you will synthesize and screen libraries of peptides that can act as reversible inhibitors and slow substrates for a range of proteases that are part of an enzymatic reaction network. These networks will be able to process information encoded in small peptide sequences and are operated in microfluidic reactors. You will construct such reactors and study the dynamic output of small enzymatic networks.
Position 2: As a PhD candidate, you will work on the design and construction of enzymatic reaction networks that can perform analogue computing functions. You will develop methods to encode complex functions, and combine multiple reactors to assemble multi-layer neural networks.
