The Foresight Institute have a new grant - quick turnaround, smaller grants of around $10,000, to quickly test and de-risk promising ideas. Target areas at the link but wider molecular machines good too! Quarterly programme, next deadline (March 31st). foresight.org/bio-nano-grant…
The potential of bio- and nanotech is enormous. Sufficient progress could stop aging, diminish age-related diseases like cancer and heart disease, and extend healthy lives. Molecular nanotechnology could help heal the biosphere, create an abundant economy, and facilitate…

Our vMASC mail-list is changing! To keep coming to vMASC please sign up at mascgroup.co.uk/vmasc-4/contac… - we have an array of great talks this year - don't miss out!
We're recruiting! Come join us at the Crick - tinyurl.com/bdfh3tjp - we have a 12-month post for a synthetic chemist, bridging translation and basic science, using high-affinity binders; we will shortly advertise a 24-month post for a chemical biologist to work across projects
Budding molecular magicians are invited to apply for a 4-year PhD studentship on catalysis-driven molecular machinery (e.g. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…; nature.com/articles/s4158…; etc) available in my group, autumn 2025 start: tinyurl.com/kdw6mtcr. Position open until filled😃
The newly launched Fielden Research Group (fieldengroup.net) has two open funded PhD studentships! @UoBChemistry Group members will learn loads, from organic synthesis to microscopy. Please get in touch if you'd like to know more. RT much appreciated! Details below:
Following our first report of Oligoproline metal-peptidic cage tinyurl.com/y5axtzks, we're delighted that our next preprint is online at tinyurl.com/3w2snwum - we find that installing an additional metal binding site transforms isomer selectivity, with unexpected results
