PRIMARY DETAIL
Opportunity for an experienced postdoctoral researcher with strong background in molecular biology and a keen interest in neuroscience for designer gene therapy vector development in the Dementia Research Centre.
THE ROLE- Salary Package: Level A, Step 6-8 (PhD $102,501-$109,852) plus 17% Superannuation and annual leave loading- Appointment Type: Fixed Term employment for 12 months (with possible extension contingent to funding available)- Location: Macquarie University (Wallumattagal Campus, North Ryde)
The Dementia Research Centre is seeking an experienced and highly motivated Postdoctoral Research Fellow to drive a FightMND project aiming to develop and transform experimental gene therapy vectors into a human trial-ready gene therapy. This project aims to demonstrate its pre-clinical efficacy and safety profile required for advancing to first in human trials.
The researcher will humanise an experimental gene therapy vector into a translational vector that meets regulatory requirements. The role will be required to optismise processes to produce vector quantities to preclinical validation and future clinical trials. The research will also be required to perform pre-clinical vector validation in MND mouse models and target engagement in iPSC-derived CNS organoids. This project aims to demonstrate its pre-clinical efficacy and safety profile required for advancing to first in human trials. Furthermore, the researcher will develop new gene delivery vectors.
Specific role requirements:
- Undertake molecular biology experiments such as: RT-PCR, DNA/RNA extractions, molecular cloning and modification of DNA plasmids.- Administer and test gene therapies in a range of mouse models. This includes testing, sample collection and monitoring of mice and analysis of data.- Culture and analyse cells, including primary murine and stem cell-derived human neurons.- Analyse biological samples using biochemical and histological techniques.- Maintain and monitor a mouse colony to a high standard. This includes setting up of breedings, monitoring pregnancies, weaning offspring, tissue harvesting, record keeping and genotyping of mice.- Record keeping of experiments and data. Preparation of internal and external presentations and reports.
