We invite applications for a Research Associate/Assistant position in the computational biology laboratory of Dr Michael Boemo, Cambridge Department of Pathology, on an exciting new project studying how oncogene-induced replication stress drives cancer development. 

In the time it takes you to read this sentence, your body will have finished producing about 5 million new cells; each of these cells had to accurately copy, or replicate, the six billion bases of DNA in their genome exactly once. DNA replication stress is characterised by the frequent slowing and stalling of...

The Opportunity

We are currently seeking to recruit a talented Postdoctoral Scientist to join our Pathway Biology group to explore mechanisms of lysosomal dysfunction linked to Parkinson’s disease (PD).  Reporting to Anastasia Henry, the Postdoctoral Scientist will examine the molecular underpinnings of how variants in PD-linked proteins impact lysosomal function and lipid homeostasis and ultimately contribute to the pathogenesis of PD. The Postdoctoral Scientist will employ a cross-functional approach to work toward the ultimate goal of identifying novel...

ROLE SUMMARY

We have an exciting postdoctoral fellow opportunity to join Pfizer’s Inflammation and Immunology Research Unit located in the heart of Cambridge’s biomedical research hub. There you will embark on a research project exploring complex receptor-ligand interaction modulations in a variety of immune cells aimed at identifying synergizing and/or additive pathways that are relevant to human diseases such as inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). You will need to employ a combination of computational systems immunology, as well as...
