Research Associate in Basement Membrane Ageing and Degradation

2 months ago

Manchester, United Kingdom The University of Manchester Full time
About the Role

We are seeking a highly skilled Research Associate to join our team at The University of Manchester.

Key Responsibilities
  • Define basement membrane damage across ageing skin, kidney, and lung, and link these modifications to protease cleavage sites and oxidation-sensitive matrix protein regions.
  • Identify age-dependent changes in the proteases that cleave basement membranes, determine the impact of inhibiting these enzymes on basement membrane degeneration in ageing animal models, and investigate the cell signaling potential of basement membrane matrikines.
What We Offer
  • Fantastic market-leading pension scheme

  • Exceptional starting annual leave entitlement, plus bank holidays
  • Additional paid closure over the Christmas period
