UK Alternative Protein Innovation Centre NAPIC Launches Fully Funded PhDs

The UK's National Alternative Protein Innovation Centre (NAPIC) at the University of Leeds is offering five fully funded PhD studentships in alternative proteins. The projects cover a range of areas such as plant protein-polysaccharide complexes, allergenicity of alternative proteins, gut-brain axis modulation, colloidal performance, and novel biosensor design. Successful candidates will have opportunities for collaboration, industry placements, and entrepreneurial training.

NAPIC aims to transform the alternative protein landscape and promote a sustainable future for the planet. It has received significant investment from UK government bodies and has formed partnerships with other UK alternative protein innovation centres to drive innovation in sustainable, nutritious, and accessible alternative proteins. The University of Leeds previously offered an alternative protein PhD project and interested candidates should apply by February 28th.
