A creative postdoctoral researcher with experimental or computational expertise is sought to work in Mark Howarth's group on a project funded by MRC at Cambridge University Department of Pharmacology.

The Howarth group have broad interests, including synthetic biology, biotechnology and entrepreneurship ( The project relates to engineering a protein superglue to enhance cell therapy of cancer.

SpyTag is a genetically-encoded peptide created by the Howarth lab, which forms an irreversible covalent bond to its protein partner SpyCatcher.

SpyTag provides a unique resource for molecular assembly and has been applied by 1,000 groups around the world for basic research and biotech, as well as reaching clinical trials.

This project will devise a new generation of Tag/Catchers that are camouflaged to the immune system, so are much more potent for therapeutics.

Collaborating with Imperial College London, we will apply this new protein superglue to overcome major barriers to cost-effective and potent CAR-T cell therapy against lymphoma.

This technology will also be a powerful advance for antibody, gene therapy and vaccine approaches under development by the group.

The project will involve protein design and evolution, using molecular biology and biophysics along with the latest AI or machine learning tools.

According to the development of the project there may be the chance to learn other methods of interest including cell biology and structure determination.

We will provide all relevant training in unfamiliar methods.
Responsibilities include managing research activities, generating high quality data, and devising new project approaches.

You will be expected to draft scientific manuscripts and may be involved with day-to-day supervision of Masters or PhD students.

You will hold a PhD, or be near completion of a PhD, in biochemistry, computational biology, immunology or a related area of molecular biosciences.

You will be skilled at presenting your data, verbally and in writing. Applications are particularly welcome from women, black and minority ethnic candidates.
