Senior Laboratory Research Scientist

Found in: beBee jobs GB - 2 weeks ago

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

Location: The Francis Crick Institute, Midland Road, London

Short summary

The laboratory of Tumour-Immune Communication has been established in early 2024. We study bidirectional interactions between cancer cells and the host immune system using synthetic and molecular biology, genetics, and immunology. This research delineates how interaction dynamics between tumour cells and immune cells influence each other, contributing to our understanding of tumour progression and antitumour immune response.

The Chudnovskiy laboratory's research in tumour immunology is directed at three pivotal questions. The first examines how tumour cells induce immune cell exhaustion, leading to a weakened response against the tumour. The second question investigates the evolution of tumour cells to evade the immune system's cytotoxic cells. The third investigates how tumours manipulate antigen presentation to shift T cell responses from being immune-reactive to tolerant of tumour antigens.

Details of research projects currently being undertaken can be seen at:

Research techniques used in the laboratory include: We utilize immunological, genetic, genomic, molecular and synthetic biology techniques to study tumour immunology.

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.
