Understanding Mechanisms in Familial Interstitial Lung Illness Utilizing Organoid Fashions

Dr Dickens and the Marciniak Group are searching for a postdoctoral researcher to drive innovation in a programme of analysis investigating triggers of alveolar epithelial dysfunction in familial types of interstitial lung illness. You’ll work with novel alveolar organoids, creating patient-specific fashions which you’ll interrogate utilizing progressive tradition strategies, genetic manipulation and
multi-omics evaluation together with proteomics and transcriptomics with a view to figuring out novel therapeutic targets.

It’s best to have a monitor report in wet-lab cell biology and possess a PhD in a related self-discipline. Prior expertise of working with organoids could be a bonus, however coaching shall be offered.

The profitable applicant will be part of Dr Dickens, a clinician scientist, and a various staff of fundamental and translational scientists and clinicians throughout the Marciniak Group. We’re dedicated to selling an thrilling, rewarding and wholesome working atmosphere and try to help the profession targets of our staff members.

The Cambridge Institute for Medical Analysis (CIMR) is situated on the Cambridge Biomedical Campus and it’s a collaborative institute on the interface between elementary analysis and the clinic, with a mission to find out the molecular mechanisms of illness with a purpose to advance human well being.
