Job description Applications are invited for a research assistant to work in the laboratory of Professor Peter Zammit based in the Randall Centre for Cell and Molecular Biophysics within the Faculty of Life Sciences & Medicine. Muscular dystrophies are a group of disorders characterized by progressive skeletal muscle weakness and wasting. Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is the third most common inherited myopathy. We have identified several pathways that are deregulated in FSHD to cause inefficient muscle repair (Banerji and Zammit (2021). Pathomechanisms and biomarkers in facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy: roles of DUX4 and PAX7 EMBO Mol Med 2021 Aug 9;13(8):e13695. doi: 10.15252/emmm.202013695). This project will further investigate the role of such pathways in pathology, with an emphasis on those controlling metabolism. Performance of the work will mainly require cell biology, molecular biology, protein analysis skills and bioinformatic skills....

Job description The post holder will be involved in a multi-centre project aimed at generating and validating a novel stem cell resource, available to researchers across the UK, of multiple human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) lines, generated from autopsy samples, with the capacity to generate brain organoids. The project will initially involve the validation of hiPSC lines, using a combination of molecular and cellular approaches. Subsequently, the ability of each hiPSC line to generate brain organoids will be characterised using a series of functional, cellular and molecular approaches. In collaboration with researchers at the University of Exeter, you will also be involved in generating a comprehensive genomic profiling of brain organoids and their comparison with matched post-mortem tissue. Research will focus specifically, but not exclusively, on growing and characterising brain organoids from multiple hiPSC lines. You will be expected to carry out routine...

Job description Context    Cancer Research UK (CRUK) have awarded funding to the CRUK City of London (CoL) Centre to create a CRUK Radiation Research Unit (RRU). The unit will feature an ambitious research programme for radiation oncology and radiation biology called RadNet. This network, CRUK’s largest ever investment in radiotherapy research, aims to accelerate the development of advanced radiotherapy techniques, challenging the boundaries of this mainstay treatment through world-first exploratory projects. RadNet core themes are: • The mechanisms of radiation resistance, including cancer evolution and cancer stem cells. • How the tumour microenvironment and immune system affect the response to radiotherapy. • Advanced radiotherapy techniques, such as proton beam therapy and stereotactic radiotherapy, which uses multiple beams of radiation that converge on the tumour. • Personalising radiotherapy using artificial...

Job description This is an exciting opportunity to work on cardio-immunology within King’s BHF Centre of Excellence. Myocardial infarction is the commonest cause of heart failure and there is compelling evidence implicating excessive inflammation as a key contributor. Cardiac-resident leucocyte subsets as important mediators of the inflammatory response to cardiac injury, but it is not clear how signalling in these cells is regulated.   The project aims to delineate signalling in leucocytes after myocardial infarction using in vivo models and multi-platform ‘omics’ approaches. These studies will provide invaluable knowledge on the regulation of inflammation after MI. We aim to identify and target novel signalling pathways and transcriptional regulators of inflammation that we can translate to the bedside to alleviate progression to heart failure.   We are seeking a motivated and enthusiastic candidate to join our pre-clinical and...
