Divisions of Structural Biology and Cancer Biology
The Institute of Cancer Research
We have two fully funded Postdoc positions available (more details under the links):
(1) Postdoctoral Training Fellow: Cryo-Electron Microscopy and Biophysics/Biochemistry (funded by Cancer Research UK);
(2) Postdoctoral Training Fellow: Cell Biology and Biochemistry of Telomere Function (funded by the Wellcome Trust).
Please get in touch if you would like learn more! Closing date for both is the 25th of August 2019.
Our lab is growing. We welcome Oviya Inian and William (Billy) Fisher into the lab. Oviya is a Postdoctoral Fellow who joins our telomere team. Billy joins us for a two-month summer project funded by a Lister Institute Summer Studentship.
Exciting news: our Cancer Research UK Programme Foundation Award application has been successful. New Postdoc positions are coming soon – please stay tuned!
Today we said farewell to Pete. We tried keeping him by narrowly succeeding in the escape room challenge while getting him locked in. With just over two minutes to spare in the end, we did not manage. All the best to Pete in his new adventures!
Mariola’s paper is published in Biomolecular NMR Assignments: Solution NMR assignment of the ARC4 domain of human tankyrase 2. Congratulations to Mariola and Katie! This has been the first step in an exciting collaboration with Mark Pfuhl and Ian Collins.
Katie’s manuscript entitled “Fragment-based screening identifies molecules targeting the substrate-binding ankyrin repeat domains of tankyrase” is now available on bioRxiv. A very enjoyable collaboration with Professor Ian Collins at ICR and Dr Mark Pfuhl at King’s College! Thank you and congratulations to the team!
Great news just before Christmas: we are delighted to have been awarded a 5-year Wellcome Trust Investigator Award to study molecular mechanisms of telomere maintenance. Watch this space for new postdoc positions in Structural Biology and Telomere Biology!
PhD student Yexin has been awarded a Boehringer Ingelheim Fonds Travel Grant to attend the 8th Brazil School for Single-Particle Cryo-EM. Many congratulations to Yexin, and many thanks to the Boehringer Ingelheim Fonds!
Today we welcome two new PhD students to our team: Iona Black and Sam Hibbs. Two highly collaborative projects with the Collins and Lord teams at ICR are waiting for them.
Today we say farewell to Anthony from the EPFL in Lausanne. Anthony has joined our lab as a Lister Institute Summer Student for two months. All the best to you for your next adventure, Anthony!
