About the role
We are looking for a dedicated team player with a strong track record in cancer research, or a related discipline, to work on a 2-year Blood Cancer UK funded project.
About you
The appointee will join our internationally recognised Blood Cancer Research team. The laboratory-based ‘Pepper Team’ (https://pepper.science) and systems biology ‘Mitchell Team’ (https://mitchell.science) represent the two largest groupings. The successful candidate will benefit from being a part of the vibrant Haematology Research Group and the Sussex Cancer Research Centre.
Project description
We have developed a novel flow cytometry-based “NF-κB fingerprinting” assay and demonstrated distinct expression patterns between and within different CLL patient samples and DLBCL cell lines. We propose that these NF-κB fingerprints are the key to identifying therapeutic vulnerabilities in individual tumours. The project will generate experimental data, using primary CLL cells and DLBCL cell lines, to create a library of NF-κB signalling states, which will inform mechanistic mathematical modelling. The goal of the project is to exploit these models to accurately identify the right drug(s) for the right patient and then experimentally test these predictions in the laboratory.
