Postdoctoral Research Associate

Comparative Biomedical Sciences

Are you an ambitious, curious, and driven scientist with an interest in metabolic research? This is an exciting opportunity to join the dynamic research environment at the Royal Veterinary College and contribute to a project with translational potential for human health. 

The Project:

You will join a Diabetes UK–funded research project led by Dr Gemma Brierley, whose group investigates the molecular underpinnings of insulin resistance. This project builds on our previous work using agonistic antibodies to activate mutated insulin receptors in cellular and animal models of human insulin receptoropathy. Insulin receptoropathy is a rare form of diabetes, for which there is no effective treatment. 

Your mission:
