This would be a lot of fun for the right person

Come join us in Oxford as an Associate Professor in Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry.
We are considering a wide range of research areas, but I would note that we have a vibrant chromatin and gene regulation community.
Happy to answer questions if you are interested.

Institute of Human Biology is at the forefront of #HumanModelSystems research. It's a privilege to work with such an impressive group of minds. Together with Matthias Matthias Lutolf and #TeamIHB , we will achieve our vision to leverage organoids to transform how we develop drugs.

The Slack lab is hiring! Come and join our team at the Dunn_School (and @DunnSchool.bsky.social)! This is a fantastic department and Emma is a truly wonderful mentor. Reach out with any questions 😊
