Job description We are seeking a Research Assistant to support an investigation into whether it is possible to reverse hearing loss due to different types of pathology, and if so, to determine the limits of the critical period for intervention. Mice with primary defects in different inner ear structures will be used together with a genetic approach for activating expression of key genes after hearing loss has occurred. Structural and electrophysiological assays will be used to track changes in hearing function.      The project requires experience in molecular biology and microscopy. Knowledge of either mouse genetics or auditory research would be an advantage but not essential. Good organisational and record-keeping skills are essential.

Job description Facial disfigurement due to hard and soft tissue loss can have a major impact on people’s social interaction  and quality of life. Facial prostheses are needed when patients are treated for certain cancers, congenital deformities and trauma perhaps relating to accidental injuries affecting for example the nose, lip, eyes, ears or skin or a combination of these depending upon the size of the facial difference. Current methods of rehabilitation rely on custom-made individual facial prostheses. These current methods of manual crafting by maxillofacial specialists are time consuming and difficult to meet patient expectations.   The overall purpose of this research work is to provide support for realising Advanced Additive Manufacturing of User-Focused Facial Prostheses with Real-Life Colour Reproduction. KCL component of the grant is related to developing base line life like skin characteristics of facial skin populations using polymeric...
