　　Chemical biology – diagnostic biosensor development for Parkinson’s disease

　　Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Research Assistant in the lab of Dr Satpal Virdee to work on the development of a high throughput biosensor platform (Pao et al. Nat Chem Biol 2016). This technology will have great potential for addressing unmet clinical needs relating to the assessment of Parkinson’s disease predisposition and patient stratification. The scope of this platform will be assessed using a number of clinical and healthy sample types, including skin fibroblasts and blood-derived cells. These studies will also provide crucial information on the poorly understood aetiology of Parkinson’s disease in the prominent sporadic patient cohort (90-95%). This exciting Michael J. Fox Foundation funded project has tangible potential for improving patient care. Applicants with experience in chemical biology biochemistry, ELISA, and cell culture are encouraged to apply. The successful applicant will benefit from working in a multidisciplinary lab with excellent career development opportunity. The MRC-PPU is equipped to the highest international standards.
