Research Studentship Division of Therapeutics & Molecular Medicine

 Research Studentship

Division of Therapeutics & Molecular Medicine

University of Nottingham -School of Clinical Sciences

Characterisation of epithelial cells from small and large airways of asthma and control subjects.
Applications are invited from Home/EU students with a 2.1 UK degree or equivalent in biology or biochemistry (or related disciplines including biomedical science) for a studentship funded by Asthma UK and the University of Nottingham.
The studentship aims to use a new innovative brush technique to isolate airway epithelial cells from both the small and large airways. In vitro models will be used to characterise cells and determine asthma specific characteristics in epithelial function including barrier formation and fibrinolysis. This studentship will be supervised jointly by Drs Ian Sayers and Dominick Shaw.
Based in the Divisions of Therapeutics and Molecular Medicine and Respiratory Medicine, the student will join a vibrant, multidisciplinary team focused on furthering our understanding of the molecular and cellular basis of airway disease.
The successful student will be registered for a PhD; the studentship is available immediately for a period of three years and provides a postgraduate stipend of £13,590 in year 1 with increments in line with Research Council Rates.
Informal enquires may be addressed to Dr I Sayers, tel: 0115 8231066 or email: ian.sayers@nottingham.ac.uk.
Students should send a detailed CV, together with the names and addresses of three referees, to Dr I Sayers, Division of Therapeutics and Molecular Medicine, School of Clinical Sciences, Queen’s Medical Centre, Nottingham, NG7 2UH. Email ian.sayers@nottingham.ac.uk via the apply button below. Please quote ref. MED/1172.
This studentship will remain open until filled.
