Our research

We are a team of highly skilled researchers collaborating with international partners from industry and other universities to perform exciting interdisciplinary science using cutting-edge experimental and computational technologies. Our aim is to dissect dynamics and cellular programmes active during human blood lineage development and to decipher how haematopoietic differentiation pathways are influenced by different microenvironments. We use state-of-the-art single-cell data generation combined with computational analysis to establish principles of blood lineage differentiation.

 

Your job

You will have a strong scientific background in cell biology and epigenetics, and you will be able to demonstrate critical thinking within and beyond these areas. You will be hard working, passionate about science, and keen to learn and improve skills within a supportive research environment.

You will be part of a multidisciplinary team and will be tasked with proactively seeking and maintaining appropriate collaborations.
