Title:Senior Scientist - Immunology
Duration: 12 months
Location: Stevange, UK
Description:
The Immunology groups within the Respiratory and Immunology Research Biology Unit (RIBU) are seeking a highly motivated scientist with experience in immunology to join the group in Stevenage (UK). In the RIBU, we are using human genetics and genomic approaches to identify new targets and therapeutic opportunities for the treatment of immune-mediated diseases. In T cell immunology, we are particularly focused on exploiting the potential of regulatory T cells to dampen autoimmunity and inflammation and restore immune homoeostasis. The successful candidates will design and deliver work packages to support the identification and validation of novel targets and the progression of on-going drug discovery programs within our RIBU portfolio.
With a strong background in immunology, you will be responsible for developing and executing novel, robust, in vitro cell-based immunology assays that recapitulate disease-relevant biology for compound/antibody testing and for exploring their mechanism of action in relevant cells. This is an exciting lab-based role that will allow the successful candidate to utilize cutting-edge technologies to make a critical contribution to our efforts to develop new m...
