This 4-year fully-funded EPSRC CASE PhD project is a collaboration between the Departments of Biology (Dr Michael Plevin, Dr Jared Cartwright) and Computer Science (Prof Susan Stepney) at University of York and FUJIFILM Diosynth Biotechnologies (FDBK).
The goal of the project is to evaluate whether computational modelling and optimisation can predict protocols for flow-through purification of recombinant protein targets. Flow-through purification approaches address a real-world need for economic and flexible production of proteins in smaller amounts for more specialised or smaller markets, and would allow low volume production facilities to be located closer to the point of use.
Please contact Michael Plevin or Susan Stepney for more information.
