font-family:Arial'>I have a CASE funded PhD position based within the Welcome
Trust Centre for Matrix Biology in the Faculty of Life Sciences, <st1:place
w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Manchester</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType
w:st="on">University</st1:PlaceType></st1:place> starting in September 2010. The
stipend for the CASE award is provided by Farfield, a company who manufacture
the Analight 4D instrument which uses dual polarisation interferometry to
investigate mass, density and layer thickness of sensor surfaces. The project,
which will be run jointly by myself and Professor Anthony Day, will utilise our
new instrument to create novel tethered lipid surfaces, within which we can
orientate our molecules of interest. We will then investigate small molecule
interactions such as ATP, and metal ions with our tethered proteins, as well as
investigating the dynamics of more complex multi-protein clusters. This
combined with other techniques such as analytical ultracentrifugation, light
scattering and surface plasmon resonance, provides a highly technical and
exciting project with the possibility of learning many state-of-the-art
investigative techniques and acquiring excellent publications. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
