We’re recruiting a Research Assistant (60% FTE) in Cardiovascular Development at King’s College London.
If you want to work at the forefront of endothelial plasticity, angiogenesis and cardiac development, this is a genuinely exciting role.
You’ll join my group to dissect how WT1 drives coronary endothelial activation and sinus venosus–derived sprouting, using in vivo models of coronary development, single‑cell & chromatin‑profiling, iPSC‑derived vascularised cardiac organ‑on‑chip systems, and quantitative imaging & molecular assays.
We’re looking for someone with a strong foundation in cell/molecular biology. Experience in vascular or developmental biology, microscopy, preclinical models, or image analysis is a bonus; enthusiasm and curiosity matter most.
