PhD position: New Synthetic Methods for Prodrug Activation

EURAXESS hosting organisation · Multiple European countries

Are you excited to work at the frontiers of synthetic organic chemistry, catalysis, and medicinal chemistry? We, Wageningen University and Research, have a vacancy for a PhD in New Synthetic Methods for Prodrug Activation. We are offering a 4-year PhD position in the https://www.wur.nl/en/chair-groups/biomolecular-sciences/organic-chemistry at Wageningen University and Research, focusing on the development of new (photo)catalytic reactions and synthetic methods to activate prodrugs. About the project: Prodrugs are molecules with little to no biological activity that can harmlessly circulate through the body until they reach their target and are converted into active drugs. The use of prodrugs offers the potential for safer and more effective therapies. However, their successful application
