Description

We are seeking a Research Assistant to join Dr Thomas Roberts' Group based in the Institute of Development and Regenerative Medicine on the Old Road Campus.

The Roberts laboratory focuses on developing RNA-based therapeutics for neuromuscular disease.

Our objectives include understanding disease biology, identifying and validating therapeutic targets, biomarker development, and developing gene-based nucleic acid therapeutic platforms.

The laboratory uses in vitro and animal models to evaluate these platforms and simultaneously develops advanced delivery technologies to target relevant tissues and cells, such as skeletal muscle, heart, and nervous system.

The laboratory has developed novel oligonucleotide therapeutics modalities for targeted gene upregulation for the treatment of haploin sufficiency disorders. Research in the laboratory also includes studying fundamental RNA biology and developing RNA-based therapeutic agents and novel technologies for their delivery

Applicants who fulfil the majority of the criteria are encouraged to apply.
