Under the guidance of Dr Kathy Chan, we are seeking to recruit a talented and motivated Higher Scientific Officer to join the Experimental and Translational Theranostic group at the Centre for Cancer Imaging, Sutton. The research focuses on the development of next-generation ‘radiotheranostics’ – whole-body radionuclide-based imaging and therapeutic tools for cancer detection and treatment, and explore biological effects of radionuclide therapy to identify druggable targets and help develop novel therapeutic strategies to fight cancer. This position will provide excellent opportunities to interact within a multidisciplinary environment of staff within imaging, radiotherapy, drug development and molecular pathology, and explore new avenues of research. About you The successful candidate must have a PhD in cancer biology, molecular biology, radiochemistry, medicinal chemistry or a related discipline. A background in in vitro and in vivo radiobiology is essential. Experience in immuno-oncology is desirable. Department/Directorate Information The candidate will work in the Experimental and Translational Theranostic Group within the ICR Division of Radiotherapy and Imaging, which provides an integrated environment for multi-modality pre-clinical imaging, co-locating 7T and 1T MRI systems, a PET/SPECT/CT system, multispectral optoacoustic and ultrasound imaging platforms, bioluminescence imaging systems and micro-CT.

Under the guidance of Dr Chalotte Pawlyn, we are seeking to recruit a Scientific Officer to contribute to our work understanding mechanisms of resistance to therapies used to treat the bone marrow cancer myeloma. The successful candidate will play a key role in the isolation of myeloma cells from patient samples and downstream processing, experiments and storage. Additionally the SO will support a range of ongoing molecular and cell biology experiments using cell lines and primary samples within the team, including cell viability assays, flow cytometry, qPCR and Western blotting. There will be opportunities to gain experience in novel techniques and explore new avenues of research. About you The successful candidate must have: A degree in a biological science Proficiency in cell culture and a range of cell/molecular biology techniques Enthusiasm to work in an interdisciplinary environment towards the goal of developing improved cancer therapeutics Department/Directorate Information Myeloma Biology and Therapeutics Group Dr Charlotte Pawlyn's team Myeloma Biology and Therapeutics focuses on identifying and validating therapeutic targets for the treatment of immunomodulatory drug resistant and high-risk multiple myeloma. Myeloma is a bone marrow cancer and the second most common haematological malignancy. Immunomodulatory drugs are the “prototype” of targeted protein degradation approaches. Outcomes for patients have improved over the last few decades following the introduction of proteasome inhibitors and immunomodulatory agents. However, patients almost all inevitably relapse and understanding the mechanisms of resistance to these commonly used agents is key to improving outcomes. The team sits within the Division of Cancer Therapeutics which has an unrivalled track record at discovering novel cancer treatments and biomarkers. Their work has made The Institute of Cancer Research the world’s most successful academic centre at discovering new cancer drugs. We also work closely with the Centre of Protein Degradation What we offer A dynamic and supportive research environment Access to state-of-the-art facilities and professional development opportunities Collaboration with leading researchers in the field Competitive salary and pension We encourage all applicants to access the job pack attached for more detailed information regarding this role.
