Research Fellow in Brain Vascular Biology and Brain Cancer Biology
2 months ago
About the role
The Group of Brain Vasculature and Perivascular Niche focuses on vascular growth and the development of blood vessels ( angiogenesis ) in the brain , including endothelial cells and perivascular cells of the neurovascular unit/perivascular niche, and on brain vascular heterogeneity in development, health and disease: The main aims are: i) to understand the cellular and molecular underpinnings that govern the growth of the developing, adult, and diseased human brain vasculature at single-cell resolution, ii) to uncover the single-cell transcriptomic, genomic and epigenomic landscapes and spatial biology of the developing, adult and diseased human brain vasculature, iii) to elucidate how developmental programs regulate vascular growth/angiogenesis in the human brain tumour vasculature (patho-fetal axis / onco-fetal axis), iv) to unravel the onco-fetal programs of vascular growth/angiogenesis and immunosuppression/immunomodulation, and v) to translate these fundamental insights about the onco-fetal axis in the human brain (tumour) vasculature into clinical settings with the ultimate goal to identify novel therapeutic strategies for human brain tumours (and for other vascular-dependent diseases such as human brain vascular malformations).
The post is funded for until 31st October in the first instance, with possibility of extension.
