Applications are invited for a Post-Doctoral Research Associate position to join this exciting collaborative project between Rachel Lennon at the University of Manchester, UK and David Sherwood at Duke University, USA, who were recently awarded an 8-year Wellcome Discovery Award.
The role will be based in Rachel Lennon’s lab and will join a diverse team of over 10 research staff, technical staff, and PhD students.
Tissues are surrounded and usually separated by basement membranes. However, some tissues connect through adjoining basement membranes. The functional significance and mechanisms underlying these connections remain elusive due to a lack of experimental models and tools. With the Discovery Award funding, we will now use our complimentary approaches to explore the structure and mechanisms of this newly identified adhesion system through a platform of animal and cell systems. This research has great potential to transform our understanding of how basement membrane linkages help tissues to function and how this is disrupted through disease. In turn these discoveries will inform new approaches for protecting and repairing tissue connections, ultimately leading to improved human health.
