Postdoctoral Fellow

2 days ago

London, Greater London, United Kingdom The Francis Crick Institute Full time

Location: The Francis Crick Institute, Midland Road, London

Short summary

Julian Downward's laboratory (Oncogene Biology) investigates the mechanisms by which mutant oncogenes drive the formation of tumours and how understanding this better can promote more effective approaches to treating cancer in the clinic. We particularly focus on the RAS family of oncogenes, which are the most frequently mutated oncogenic drivers in human cancer. The first drugs targeting the KRAS protein, sotorasib and adagrasib, have recently been approved for clinical use in lung cancer, but their effectiveness is limited due to the rapid development of drug resistance. We are interested in exploring the interplay between RAS oncogene signaling and the control of the tumour immune microenvironment (TiME) with the aim of improving therapies for RAS mutant tumours. We are seeking a talented and motivated postdoctoral research fellow with experience in tumour immunology to join our group.

About us

The Francis Crick Institute is a biomedical discovery institute dedicated to understanding the fundamental biology underlying health and disease. Its work is helping to understand why disease develops and to translate discoveries into new ways to prevent, diagnose and treat illnesses such as cancer, heart disease, stroke, infections, and neurodegenerative diseases.

An independent organisation, its founding partners are the Medical Research Council (MRC), Cancer Research UK, Wellcome, UCL (University College London), Imperial College London and King's College London.

The Crick was formed in 2015, and in 2016 it moved into a new state-of-the-art building in central London which brings together 1500 scientists and support staff working collaboratively across disciplines, making it the biggest biomedical research facility under in one building in Europe.

The Francis Crick Institute will be world-class with a strong national role. Its distinctive vision for excellence includes commitments to collaboration; developing emerging talent and exporting it the rest of the UK; public engagement; and helping turn discoveries into treatments as quickly as possible to improve lives and strengthen the economy.
