Design and development of genetically modified virus-like nanoparticles for targeted drug-delivery

THESIS TOPIC PROPOSAL

Institute: Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest
chemistry
György Hevesy Doctoral School of Chemistry

Thesis supervisor: Péter Kele
Location of studies (in Hungarian): TTK Kémiai Intézet
Abbreviation of location of studies: Kém.


Description of the research topic:

This research topic involves the design and synthesis of virus capsids / envelopes bearing non-canonical amino acids (UAAs). These unnatural entities are to be implemented genetically (stop codon supression) and expressed in bacterial cells. These virus-proteins will be labeled fluorescently through the UAAs and allowed to self-organize and into virus-like nanoparticles. Such systems will be used to deliver certain drugs or dyes into specific cells.

Required language skills: good command of English
Further requirements: 
preparative chemistry skills

Number of students who can be accepted: 1

Deadline for application: 2014-11-27
