Research Associate: £33,966 to £36,024 per annum
The Role
Your role will be to process and analyse multiple genomic/transcriptomic datasets derived from patient samples and models of childhood Burkitt lymphoma. You will be responsible for performing an integrated bioinformatics analysis of those data. That analysis will involve the use of both in house and published sequencing data and will rely both on established and novel pipelines.
The project aims to repurpose existing datasets to further our understanding of the basic molecular biology of childhood Burkitt lymphoma. This rare blood cancer has a high rate of cure but for the small proportion of children whose disease relapses, outcomes are very poor. We are looking to understand both the determinants of risk of relapse and the biological processes which drive therapy resistance.
This post is fixed term until 30/6/26.
