London, Greater London, United Kingdom Queen Mary University of London Full time

About the Role

We have an opportunity to join the Centre for Multi-omics, working with some of the world leaders in the genetic discovery of molecular traits, that underlay disease mechanisms.

We have unique multi-omic biosample repositories for research from consented patients, and available for longitudinal follow-up, from our culturally-diverse local East London population and genomic datasets from continental Africa.

The successful candidate will contribute to the intellectual life of PHURI and wider institution and research field of 'omics science, in particular genomics, metabolomics and proteomics of African populations datasets.

About You

We seek a Senior Research Fellow to work on a Wellcome-funded project on assessing the genetic impact of chronic kidney disease (CKD) within African populations. The successful candidate will advance our research in molecular precision healthcare through the use of ethnically diverse biobank-scale DNA sequencing resources, including whole exome and whole genome sequencing. You will leverage the African Genome Resource to identify novel genetic associated and causal variants, compute polygenic risk scores, and investigate the causal risk factors for a range of non-communicable diseases in global populations.

You will also have the opportunity to integrate omics research with other thematic foci for PHURI in our multi-disciplinary institute.

About the Institute

PHURI will unite world-leading expertise from Queen Mary University of London (QMUL), nationally and internationally to drive research excellence and expedite impact. Our multidisciplinary teams will address research across four interconnected centres:

  • Health data and analytics;
  • Multiomics and single cell analyses;
  • MedTech and Devices
  • Therapeutic Innovation

These centres will come together to create a complete journey from disease identification, through the development of a therapy or intervention, to translation for patients in the clinic. This integrated approach is a distinguishing feature of PHURI.

PHURI builds on the close partnership between QMUL and Barts NHS Trust to ensure that our research is focused on where it's needed most, using real-world clinical data to drive the development and targeted prescription of treatments based on patients' needs. This will help to build a stronger health service for the people of East London, the UK and beyond.
