The Garnett Lab and Translational Cancer Genomics team focus on understanding the consequences of alterations in the DNA of cancer cells. We do this at scale using multiple approaches including drug sensitivity and genetic perturbation screens in cancer cell line and organoid models. Vulnerabilities within cancer cells identified from the data generated can then be exploited as novel drug targets or as genetic markers to deliver personalised medicine to patients in the clinic.
To support this research we are seeking a Research Assistant to join the drug sensitivity screening team. The screening team manages over 1000 cancer cell models and performs high-throughput viability assays utilising state of the art automation platforms and sample management systems. This lab based role includes culturing the cell models, preparing and processing micro-well based assay plates as well as providing laboratory support to the wider research group.
This position offers recent graduates the opportunity to develop their tissue culture and laboratory techniques. It also offers individuals who have gained experience in technical roles to establish themselves in a research team.

The Wellcome Sanger Institute is a genome research centre set up in 1992 by the Wellcome Trust and the Medical Research Council in order to further our knowledge of genomes, and in particular to play a substantial role in the sequencing and interpretation of the human genome. This information will underpin research on human biology and disease in this century and beyond.
