  • Experience in targeted protein degradation, biochemical and pharmacology assays would be an additional advantage.

Department Information

The Centre for Protein Degradation is a leading research group specialising in developing novel drug modalities that re-wire tumour cells' signalling by targeted degradation of key oncogenic drivers. Our experienced biologists work closely with medicinal chemists, biophysicists, computational scientists and oncology specialists on expanding the repertoire of novel degradable drug targets and E3 ligases, identifying drugs using innovative screening platforms and characterising their mechanisms of action.
