Job description

4 year Postdoctoral Project Research Scientist

With Professor Charles Swanton, Cancer Evolution and Genome Instability Laboratory, Francis Crick Institute.

The Cancer Evolution and Genome Instability lab is studying how cancers evolve in the body to spread and become resistant to therapy and finding new ways to treat them more effectively. In recent years it has become clear that every tumour is made up of many different groups of cancer cells, each with their own unique genetic makeup but all related to each other. Some groups of tumour cells develop resistance to treatments such as chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiotherapy, and targeted therapy, meaning that when the cancer comes back it is harder to treat.
