Thank you for your patience during this update The Wound Healing team is embedded within the newly established £48M Wound Innovation Institute at the University of Hull, a state-of-the-art translational research facility dedicated to accelerating discoveries in skin wound healing, chronic wounds, and age-related skin conditions toward clinical application. This r esearch project focuses on cellular and molecular mechanisms of skin homeostasis, fibroblast function, senescence, Nrf2 signalling, extracellular matrix remodelling, and therapeutic interventions such as Nrf2 modulation and senolytics. This post will provide essential technical support to a funded 2-year project investigating the roles of Nrf2 in driving pro-healing secretory phenotypes versus senescence in fibroblasts, using integrated in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo models to identify pathways for enhancing wound repair while preserving long-term skin resilience during aging. The post holder will: Maintain and perform routine primary human skin fibroblast cultures, including treatment with Nrf2 activators or inducible constitutive Nrf2 models. Apply and evaluate senolytic treatments to clear senescent cells, followed by assessment of senescence markers via SA-β-gal staining, qRT - PCR, and immunofluorescence. Collect, prepare, and test conditioned media from treated fibroblasts on normal human epidermal keratinocytes and in ex vivo human skin wound models. Routine histology work including tissue processing, sectioning, and staining/immunofluorescence. The full job description can be found here This role is working 29.2 hours per week (0.8 FTE).
