Cambridge, United Kingdom University of Cambridge Full time

The Liquid Biopsies and Cancer Diagnostics lab at the Cancer Research UK Cambridge Institute, University of Cambridge, develops and pioneers new approaches for non-invasive molecular diagnostics for cancer, primarily based on next-generation sequencing (NGS) of circulating cell-free tumour DNA (ctDNA). Led by Prof. Rosenfeld and a team of experienced translational genomics scientists, the lab studies large collections of plasma and other samples from cancer patients through an extensive portfolio of clinical studies and collaborations. We develop NGS analysis tools spanning genome-wide and targeted methods for sensitive detection of tumour-derived nucleic acids and aim to progress these into clinical use by proof-of-concept translational studies to demonstrate their utility. We further explore the biophysical properties of ctDNA to study its origins and interactions and to inform the development of increasingly sensitive methods.

Fixed-term: The funds for this post are available for 3 years in the first instance.

The University has a responsibility to ensure that all employees are eligible to live and work in the UK.
