The Research Group
We are seeking an enthusiastic and ambitious Principal Laboratory Research Scientist to join the Tissue Regeneration and Clonal Evolution (TRCE) laboratory. We are a multi-disciplinary research group with a mission to understand the factors underlying an organ’s regenerative capacity in order to design novel therapeutics to augment biological function.
We aim to elucidate the functional consequences of mutations in these genes and unravel how these molecular perturbations influence hepatocyte clonal biology and the mechanisms of tissue regeneration. Nature Genetics, 2022), organoids and bio-engineered tissues. We are also developing and applying new technologies in single molecule spatial genomics and in vivo gene editing. Our long-term vision is to be able to apply our findings to stimulate regeneration in other non-proliferative tissues, discover the process of organ ageing and to elucidate the molecular steps to cancer.
This is an excellent opportunity for a highly motivated senior scientist to be heavily involved in the start-up of a major laboratory and to provide senior level support in broad scientific management for the research group. Alongside providing technical assistance to other lab members, there will be opportunities and strong encouragement to lead independent projects in areas such in vivo gene editing and liver epigenetics.
