Research Associate (Mendez-Ferrer Lab) (Fixed Term)
The project, which is funded by the European Haematology Association, will investigate candidate pathways to improve the outcome of blood stem cell transplantation procedures. Blood stem cell transplantation is routinely performed for lifesaving procedures in patients with blood cancers or inherited metabolic/immune disorders. Allogeneic blood stem cell transplantation generates the graft vs leukaemia effect necessary to eliminate malignant cells. However, many recipients develop a reaction of the graft against their own body (graft vs host disease, which is also a major problem during solid organ transplantation). A major focus will be on novel signalling pathways regulating immune cell metabolism, graft vs host disease and the graft vs leukaemia effect.
The postholder will be supported by and actively collaborate with other group members. Additionally, this project will be assisted by an active network of collaborators in the fields of immune cell metabolism and clinical allogeneic stem cell transplantation. However, previous experience in the topic will be positively valued.
The successful candidate should hold a PhD in a biomedical field or equivalent. Prior experience of laboratory research and excellent communication skills are essential.
The successful candidate will be expected to plan experiments both independently and in conjunction with other lab members. They will also be responsible for the supervision of a PhD student.
