The Opportunity:
The Cellular Genomics Programme is seeking a highly motivated staff scientist to lead wet lab work in the Lee-Six group. The group is focused on studying the earliest stages of childhood cancer by investigating the conditions under which cells with particular cancer-driving mutations gain a selective advantage over their healthy neighbours. The applicant will have the opportunity to be embedded in a large community of experimental and computational scientists with access to world-leading computational and experimental facilities at the institute.
About the Team:
Henry Lee-Six is a paediatric pathology registrar. His previous work has been focused on somatic mutations in normal tissues. He is starting a new group in the Cellular Genomics Programme with the aim of understanding the interplay of somatic mutations and development in childhood cancer. A major goal of the group is to investigate the relative contribution of mutation identity, cell ...
