Job description

Oncology, Human 3D cultures, ECM, Cancer Genomics, Tissue Engineering

Your new company

Currently undergoing an aggressive growth, our client are developing an exciting portfolio of programmes in fibrosis and solid tumours using their unique human extracellular matrix (ECM)-based discovery platform. This allows the study of human pathophysiology leading to the discovery of novel targets and therapeutics that will benefit patients through the acceleration of drug discovery in liver disease and cancer!

Your new role

* Using your background in oncology research, you will use genomics and proteomic-based approaches such as CRISPR\/Cas9, to design and perform experiments in order to validate drug targets and novel therapeutic agents in the fields of liver and pancreatic cancer.

* You will contribute to ongoing oncology R&D projects through establishing high-throughput cell-based assays, and 3D tissue cultures of primary cells and cell lines, aimed at target discovery and validation.

What you'll need to succeed

* You will hold a PhD or MSc in Cancer Genomics, Molecular Pharmacology, Cell Biology (or in a related field).

* You will have demonstrable experience in performing oncology laboratory research in an industrial (or academic) setting.

* You will have significant hands-on experience of cell culture (primary cells and cell lines) and key molecular biology techniques, including RNA\/DNA extraction, qRT-PCR, ELISA, and western blotting.

* You will have strong imaging experience (fluorescence microscopy, immunohistochemistry\/ histology, tissue engineering).

* Work experience in the biotech\/pharma industry, and familiarity with oncology drug development would be an advantage.

What you'll get in return

Our client offers an attractive package of compensation and benefits, including bonus, private healthcare, 25 days' holiday, and a lot of opportunity for career progression and development in a dynamic, creative and entrepreneurial environment!
