[交流] 英国格拉斯哥大学合成生物学全奖机会（截止日期1月19日，请感兴趣的虫友尽快申请！）

英国格拉斯哥大学合成生物学全奖机会（截止日期1月19日，请感兴趣的虫友尽快申请！）

这是格大提供的面向全球的全额奖学金机会，导师是我们同一个大组的Professor Anna Amtmann，德国人。她是一个很nice的人，平常看着很凶，但只是对学术问题严格，对学生很好。Anna在学术上想法很棒，在她的组里做博士，发Planf Cell或Plant Phy这个档次的文章不难。同时在她的组里有几名很好相处同时认真负责的博后，所以不用担心技术学习上的困难。在同一个大组里，还有我和师兄两名中国人，所以也不用担心初次来英生活语言上的问题。由于之前我和师兄比较努力，Anna对招收中国学生很感兴趣，所以欢迎大家申请！如果有兴趣，或有什么具体问题，请站内信或尽快发邮件联系Professor Anna Amtmann，anna.amtmann@glasgow.ac.uk。

课题名称：Light-powered protocells for bio-diagnostics; a synthetic biology project
导师：Professor Anna Amtmann
奖学金来源：MVLS - Lord Kelvin Adam Smith Scholarship
课题介绍：
The aim of this project is to develop a minimal synthetic protocell that can report on inorganic and organic substances in water, soil or body fluids. Using a synthetic biology approach (synbio), the student will introduce a light-powered rhodopsin pump into the membranes of protocells made out of robust polymers (polymersomes) generated at high throughput on a microfluidic platform. The electrochemical potential created across the membrane will be used to energize proton-coupled uptake of the targeted substance (e.g. a heavy metal or a disease-related peptide) through a selective cotransport protein, and the resulting internal pH change will be monitored with a pH-sensitive dye. This multidisciplinary project will exploit cutting-edge technologies from photo-biochemistry and biological engineering for a synthetic biology approach to bio-diagnostics. Alongside the laboratory work, the student will critically assess the technology under the responsible innovation (RI) AREA (Anticipate, Reflect, Engage, Act) framework. In this way, the project will develop with an increased awareness of the potential merits of the different uses and any related social constraints.
申请要求：
A first/upper second class Honours science degree with focus on Biochemistry, Molecular Biology and/or Biotechnology (UK), or equivalent (Europe & overseas)
Evidence of at least 3 months individual practical laboratory experience (e.g. Honours/Masters project, summer internship)
A good understanding of ion transport, physical chemistry and protein structure
A keen interest in engineering and social sciences
Strength in numeracy, computing and problem solving
Excellent communication and presentation skills
Ability to work in a team
