6 days ago


Charing Cross, United Kingdom Imperial College London Full time

The post is funded by Action Medical Research and Borne for 3 years and is full-time and available immediately.

Our laboratory, based at Imperial’s Chelsea and Westminster Hospital Campus, focuses on how immune cells in the mucosal lining of the uterus (called the decidua in pregnancy) are involved in physiological processes of pregnancy, and what happens when these go wrong.

**Duties and responsibilities**:
You will be responsible for delivering a project which will use clinical samples to address the hypothesis that human labour is initiated by an immune signal in the decidua. You will investigate this by isolating immune cells from donors at term (in labour or not in labour) and using flow cytometry and cell culture techniques to compare their number and ability to produce chemokines.

**Essential requirements**:

- Experience in basic molecular and cell biology techniques (DNA/RNA purification, cDNA synthesis, PCR, Flow Cytometry)
- Experience in mammalian cell culture

**Further information**:
This is a full time and fixed term post for 3 years from the start date. You will be based at the Charing Cross Campus.-
- The College believes that the use of animals in research is vital to improve human and animal health and welfare. Animals may only be used in research programmes which are ultimately aimed towards finding new treatments and making scientific and medical advances, and where there are no satisfactory or reasonably practical alternatives to their use. Imperial is committed to ensuring that, in cases where this research is deemed essential, all animals in the College’s care are treated with full respect, and that all staff involved with this work show due consideration at every level._Find out more about animal research at Imperial_._
