RESEARCH ASSOCIATE IN VIRUS RECEPTOR DISCOVERY FOR PANDEMIC PREPAREDNESS: Hull York Medical School (Hyms)
The Cell Surface Signalling laboratory led by Professor Gavin Wright ( www.wright-lab.org ) is interested in discovering the molecular basis of cellular recognition processes in both health and disease. A major aim of the laboratorys research is to understand how cells interact with pathogens such as viruses to inform the rational design of novel therapeutics and vaccines. Examples of our contributions include discovering vaccine targets for malaria (Crosnier et al. Nature 480 p534) and trypanosomiasis (Autheman et al. Nature 595 p96). Central to our approach is a large and unique collection of human cell surface receptor ectodomains that can be used to directly identify extracellular protein interactions (Shilts et al. Nature 608 p397).
