Christiane Berger-Schaffitzel: New PhD Project Explores Snake Venom and Haemostasis
Christiane Berger-Schaffitzel, Co-founder and CTO at Halo Therapeutics, shared post on LinkedIn:
“Exciting PhD Opportunity:
Applications are now open for our SWBio DTP-funded PhD project at the University of Bristol ‘Characterisation and Inhibition of Snake Venom Metalloproteinases for Next-Generation Antivenom’ co-supervised by Prof. Alastair Poole and me.
You will combine protein engineering, nanobody discovery, blood coagulation and platelet biology, and venom research to develop innovative approaches to neutralise SVMPs, key drivers of snakebite pathology.
You will receive training in eukaryotic protein expression, ribosome display, protein engineering, and functional haemostasis assays.
Application deadline: Midday, Wednesday 2 December
