The University of East Anglia invites applications for a fully funded PhD place supervised by Dr Sophie Thomas. The project explores atomically precise gold nanoclusters stabilised by NHC ligands as intracellular catalysts, combining inorganic chemistry, nanomaterials and biology.
You will design and synthesize water-soluble NHC ligands, prepare well-defined gold nanoclusters, and study how ligand structure influences stability, uptake and catalytic activity in living cells.
