The post is funded by the British Heart Foundation to better understand the relationship between angina, myocardial oxygen supply-demand imbalance and relief of coronary flow obstruction. In this sub-study of the ORBITA-2 trial we will investigate three key areas. We will use contemporary tools to improve our assessment of symptoms to discover which...

An exciting opportunity has arisen for the appointment of a Research Assistant to work on a project, supported by the European Research Council, on the impact of microbiota and metabolites on the colon cancer risk. The overarching goal of the project is to increase knowledge of the impact of the specific microbial compositions and metabolites on the gut...

The advertised position will be working in Dr Andrew Cowburn’s research group within the National Heart and Lung Institute (NHLI), Vascular Science department, Faculty of Medicine. Our laboratory is interested in how low oxygen levels (hypoxia) impact patho-physiology in lung disease. Progressive inflammatory damage to lung tissue leads to profound local,...

Dementia is the greatest health challenge of our century._ To date there is no way to prevent it or even slow its progression, and there is an urgent need to fill the knowledge gap in our basic understanding of the diseases that cause it. The UK Dementia Research Institute (UK DRI) is the biggest UK initiative driving forward research to fill this...

We have an exciting opportunity to appoint a talented and ambitious post-doctoral research assistant to join our multidisciplinary 3-year collaborative project, funded by the Medical Research Council entitled: “_An integrative transethnic approach to identify novel functional genes in Parkinson's disease using in silico and in vivo...

We are seeking an enthusiastic and motivated researcher to combine robotic, therapeutic, and sensing components on a fibre-based probe for endoluminal high-precision cancer surgery**.** Gastrointestinal cancers affecting the oesophagus, stomach and colon, are among the top ten cancers worldwide. Minimally invasive surgery uses endoscopes to access the body...

The post is funded by the EPSRC to combine the High-Speed Scanning Ion Conductance Microscope (HS-SICM) developed in the lab and epi-illumination Selective Plane Illumination light sheet microscope (eSPIM) that is developed in the laboratory of Professor David Klenerman, University of Cambridge. The Research Associate will be expected to combine and maintain...

This post offers a unique opportunity to be part of a world-class translational-medicine environment offered by Imperial College. The post-holder will work within a multi-disciplinary team to tackle complex data science challenges in cancer. **Duties and responsibilities**: You must be organised, highly self-motivated and have excellent communication,...

We are seeking a highly motivated Research Associate, to join a British Heart Foundation funded programme of research that aims to investigate the mechanosensitive regulation of myocardial contractility and electrophysiology by microvascular endothelial cells using human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes. **Duties and...

We are seeking a highly motivated Research Associate to join a MRFF funded programme of research that aims to investigate how we can use computational models and data analysis techniques to improve cardiac patient care. **Duties and responsibilities**: The project will involve the analysis and curation of cardiology clinical data and running cardiac...

The project uses preclinical models to screen the potential of non-invasive brain stimulation regimes known to induce neuronal plasticity in the fight against AD. It involves a combination of non-invasive brain stimulation in preclinical models capturing features of AD-related pathology, _in vivo_ 1- and 2-Photon structure/function micro-circuit imaging,...

**Developing AI-ECG models for cardiovascular risk and mortality prediction** Through various collaborators worldwide, we have access to large quantities of digital ECGs (>2 million) recorded in clinical settings, in addition to >40000 digital ECGs from the UK Biobank linked to genetic and phenotypic data, which will allow us to train a range of AI-ECG...

Neuroactive natural products have led to important drugs including anthelmintics and pharmaceuticals, but we have barely scratched the surface of what nature has to offer. How will we discover the next generation of neuroactive compounds? We have developed new technology for high-throughput behavioural screening and quantitative phenotyping that will enable...

You will join a collaborative team, working with Dr David Owen (a clinical molecular pharmacologist) and Dr Samuel Barnes (Senior Lecturer, focussing on homeostatic neural-circuit plasticity). The preclinical project involves using longitudinal 2-Photon in vivo imaging techniques to measure calcium mediated neuronal activity and cortical blood flow in...

The preclinical project involves using longitudinal 2-Photon in vivo imaging techniques to measure calcium mediated neuronal activity and cortical blood flow in...

We focus on the role of key neural-circuit plasticity processes thought to be critical for healthy network function. To achieve this, we use preclinical mouse models and cutting-edge technologies including 1- and 2-Photon in vivo microscopy, electrophysiology, automated behavioural testing, single cell/nuclei transcriptomics, non-invasive brain stimulation,...

The NIHR has funded the new “Stratification of Clinically Vulnerable People for COVID-19 Risk Using Antibody Testing (STRAVINSKY)” study. Researchers will find out if antibody testing can identify which immunosuppressed people remain at greatest risk of severe COVID-19 infection after vaccinations. The study will focus on priority groups for COVID-19...

An exciting opportunity has arisen in the Joint Research Office for an enthusiastic and well-organised Research Grants Coordinator to coordinate a portfolio of research grants within the faculty of medicine. This varied and interesting role will focus on providing effective and efficient support to our customers, both internally and externally, and you will...

We are looking for two highly motivated and driven researchers with a PhD or equivalent and a strong background in molecular and/or cellular biology to join the research group led by Dr Aida Martinez-Sanchez within the section of Cell Biology and Functional Genomics at Imperial College London (ICL). Our lab is based at the Imperial Centre for Translational...
