A 3 year BBSRC-funded Post-doc position is available at King’s College London. Manipulating a morphogen in space and time.

 This is a joint project between the labs of Malcolm Logan (https://www.kcl.ac.uk/research/logan-group) and Anthony Graham (https://www.kcl.ac.uk/people/anthony-graham).
The project will experimentally study how morphogens work and how their activity can be modulated during embryonic development to shape anatomical structures. This is an important issue for evolution of morphological diversity across different species and understanding the origins of congenital birth defects. 

In this project, we will use the chick embryo model to create experimental situations in which cells of the limb bud are exposed to different levels of the morphogen, SHH, and modulate the length of time cells are exposed to these levels of signalling.
