Investigating how cell size alters global gene expression in mammalian cells.

We are seeking highly motivated candidates to join the as a lab technician to work on how cell size impacts gene expression. We're a multi-disciplinary group that combines approaches across cell, molecular, systems & quantitative biology to study how core cellular processes are altered by cell size.

Cell size is a fundamental but poorly understood cellular property, but it is known to be linked to ageing and cancer. This project will involve engineering different mammalian cell lines using CRISPR knock-out and knock-in constructs to build on recent progress from our work in yeast () and aims to test key conclusions in mammalian cell lines. This projec...
