Our group has recently discovered a new, evolutionary conserved core purine enzyme (FAMIN) that controls immunometabolism, and which is genetically strongly linked to Crohn's disease, childhood arthritis, and leprosy (Cader et al, Cell 2020 Jan 23, https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0092867419313790?via%3Dihub).
In this context, we look for a scientist with a background in immunology, cell and molecular biology, biochemistry, and/or metabolomics to join our group. We hope to recruit a colleague who shares our passion for discovery and who looks for an exciting challenge within our highly multidisciplinary group.
Our lab is located in the new Cambridge Institute of Therapeutic Immunology and Infectious Disease (CITIID), for more info, see https://www.citiid.cam.ac.uk and https://www.med.cam.ac.uk/kaser/. Our research is funded by the Wellcome Trust and the European Research Council, and we enjoy several excellent collaborations on and off campus.
For informal enquiries please contact Professor Arthur Kaser FMedSci (ak729@cam.ac.uk).
