PhD Project Position: A scholarship opportunity is available for a PhD position on the project “Revealing Reactivity in Cancer-Associated Heme Proteins: Novel Time-Resolved Structural Approaches.” The project, supervised by Dr. Hanna Kwon at the University of Leicester, focuses on investigating the catalytic mechanism and structural dynamics of Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1), a heme-containing enzyme associated with cancer. The research will employ cutting-edge structural and spectroscopic techniques, including X-ray and time-resolved vibrational spectroscopy, to gain insights into IDO1 catalysis in real-time.
