Research Scientist - Harwell, United Kingdom - MRC NATA
1 week ago
Description
Harwell Campus, Oxfordshire
Nucleic Acid Therapy Accelerator
The Medical Research Council (MRC), as part of UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), has invested a total of £30m over 4 years to establish a nucleic acid therapy accelerator (NATA) that will support state-of-the-art interdisciplinary research to solve critical issues in nucleic acid drug delivery, through focused NATA research challenges and a NATA infrastructure hub.
The NATA will focus on bringing together key stakeholders around the infrastructure hub while catalysing collaborative R&D activity with focused support to tackle significant barriers facing oligonucleotide therapy delivery to key organs. This investment will support capacity building in terms of equipment, upskilling and domain expertise that will be essential in developing critical mass to catalyse and de-risk the development of next-generation nucleic acid therapeutics.
The Role
An exciting role in a dynamic and growing interdisciplinary team at the NATA Hub developing new therapeutic oligonucleotides for various translational and collaborative projects. The Research Scientist will play a key role in designing, synthesising, and evaluating existing and new chemical modifications for nucleic acid therapeutics. In addition, the Research Scientist will design & implement processes and workflows for nucleic acid synthesis, purification, and scale-up.
