Scholarship Description: This studentship is funded by the Centre for Molecular Processing (CMP)
at the University of Kent. Molecular Processing encompasses the mechanisms and
cellular requirements that influence disease states, cellular processes and the
synthesis of therapeutic agents and biomedicines from biological systems (e.g.
bacterial, yeast, mammalian systems). The University of Kent has a long and
successful history of research in these areas. The Centre builds upon Kent’s
strengths in Molecular Processing by integrating and linking the expertise and
know-how of research groups and Schools across the Faculty of Sciences at Kent.
