DevelRx are pleased to announce a new PhD studentship with the University of Bristol. The student, Katie Kamenish, started in March 2024 and is studying the emotional and reinforcing properties of novel opioid ligands for the treatment of pain. DevelRx is providing financial support (50%) for the project as part of our commitment to research and to support the training and development of the next generation of scientists. The industrial supervisors are Professor David Heal and Sharon Smith from DevelRx. The academic supervisors are Professor Emma Robinson and Dr Emma Cahill, from the University of Bristol. The project involves a collaboration with Professor Stephen Husbands from the University of Bath who will provide the novel opioid ligands for testing and further academic support.
We are very much looking forward to working with Katie and our academic collaborators on this exciting new project.
