Postdoctoral Training Fellow Position at Crick Institute, London, UK

Designation/Position- Postdoctoral Training Fellow

Crick Institute, London, UK invites application for Postdoctoral Training Fellow Position from eligible and interested candidates

About- The group is composed of postdoctoral scientists, clinical and non-clinical PhD students and research scientists. We have been at the Crick since the summer of 2017 and our focus is cancer metabolism, with some focus on the tumour suppressor protein p53.

The p53 and metabolism laboratory focuses on understanding how and why cancers develop. Research group is focused on two interrelated questions; how does nutrient availability/metabolism and ROS regulation impact cancer initiation and progression and how do metabolic and survival functions of wild type and mutant p53 control tumour development. Research group goal is to understand the mechanistic biology underlying these phenomena and thereby reveal novel vulnerabilities and therapeutic approaches. This project will continue to build on Research group work identifying cancer-specific metabolic changes and how these could be exploited for cancer treatment.
