We are seeking a visionary Research & Innovation Fellow to join our team dedicated to revolutionising the treatment of autoimmune and immune‑aging diseases. Over 3.5 million people worldwide suffer from the debilitating disease lupus. There is a critical, unmet need for cost‑effective therapies that stop inflammatory flares without the complications of traditional immunosuppressive treatments.
This role offers an exciting chance to work on a first‑in‑class drug program targeting the root cause of active disease.
Responsibilities
* Validate novel molecules by performing immune‑cell isolations and cultures from both healthy donors and lupus patients.
* Use advanced cell‑based reporters and quantitative PCR assays to provide evidence of our molecules' ability to suppress inflammation.
* Play a key role in the commercialisation of our lead compounds by managing experimental design, keeping a high standard data room, and helping shape the marketing strategy for licensing.
* Take a leading role in generating new ideas and mentoring team members, while refining leadership and transferable commercialisation skills.
Qualifications
* PhD (or equivalent experience) in immune biology.
* Trained in phlebotomy, blood‑cell isolations and biochemical techniques including qPCR, immune‑detection and data & statistical analysis.
* Knowledge of experimental design, innate immune signalling and immune‑aging disease.
* Experience or knowledge of commercialisation training and academic‑industry partnerships would be an advantage.
Benefits
We offer a fantastic range of benefits including a highly competitive annual leave entitlement (with the ability to purchase more), a generous pensions scheme, flexible working opportunities, a commitment to your development and wellbeing, a wide range of retail discounts, and much more.
We build teams of people from different heritages and lifestyles from across the world, whose talent and contributions complement each other to greatest effect. We believe diversity in all its forms delivers greater impact through research, teaching and student experience.
