Applications are invited for a post-doctoral researcher to work in the laboratory of Professor Peter Zammit at King’s College London, based in the Randall Centre for Cell and Molecular Biophysics within the Faculty of Life Science & Medicine.
Muscular dystrophies are a group of disorders characterized by progressive skeletal muscle weakness and wasting. Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is the third most common inherited myopathy. We have identified several pathways that are deregulated in FSHD to cause inefficient muscle repair, and are currently investigating pathomechanisms and biomarkers of the disease using cell/molecular and redox biological, ‘omics’-based and in silico methodology (e.g., doi: 10.7554/eLife.88345; doi: 10.1016/j.redox.2022.102251; doi: 10.15252/emmm.202013695).
This project will further investigate the role of such pathways in pathology, with an emphasis on those controlling cellular bioenergetics and metabolism, with a particular focus on mitochondrial dysfunction and defective auto-/mitophagy. Performance of the work will mainly require experience/skills in cell and molecular biology, RNA/protein analysis, mitochondrial/metabolic activity assaying and bioinformatics.
This post will be offered on an a fixed-term contract until 30th April 2025, with the possibility of extension.
This is a full-time post – 100% full time equivalent
