PhD position available
Modulating stem cell fitness to improve outcomes in GATA2 deficiency
We seek a motivated basic science PhD candidate to join our team! We have a fully funded 4-year PhD position in the Monteiro Lab (https://lnkd.in/gh67dqsB) to investigate novel modulators of blood stem cell fitness that halt or reverse bone marrow failure in in vitro and in vivo models of GATA2 deficiency.
GATA2 deficiency is a rare leukaemia predisposition syndrome that leads to bone marrow failure and progression to acute myeloid leukaemia in patients at a median age of 20. This project is a collaboration between the Monteiro and Higgs Lab at the Department of Cancer and Genomic Sciences, University of Birmingham, UK, with funding from the LifeArc Centre for Acceleration of Rare Disease Trials (ARDT).
Deadline for application: 6th April 2025
