Our research focuses on delineating the factors that influence the safety and efficacy of intrauterine (fetal) therapy targeting major haemoglobinopathies. This therapy is promising in theory but has proven difficult to translate efficiently in preclinical and clinical models, with the main challenge being long-term and clinically relevant donor cell engraftment. Our group has developed a murine model of gene and stem cell therapy for thalassaemia major, our clinical target disease, and we seek a highly motivated scientist to join our team. The candidate should have knowledge of cell culture, molecular biology and animal handling. Promising and capable candidates who do not yet have the experience in these fields may also be considered.</p>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\"><b>Qualifications</b></p>\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Work closely with the PI to design and plan experiments;</li>\n<li>Independently prepare and present study material at investigator meetings and review meetings;</li>\n<li>Assist with report generation, scientific meeting/conference presentations;</li>\n<li>Assist the team with carrying out experiments and data collection;</li>\n<li>Be responsible for data quality control, analysis and data presentation.</li>\n</ol>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\"><b>Requirements</b></p>\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Bachelor’s degree in any related scientific discipline</li>\n<li>Strong oral and written communication and writing skills</li>\n<li>At least 1 year of experience working in the above mentioned search field</li>\n<li>Intention to remain in this employment for the duration of the research project (i.e. a 1-year time-line)</li>\n<li>Experience in animal surgery is a bonus</li>\n<li>Salary is awarded in accordance to the regulations of NUS employment; this employment is Full Time.</li>\n</ol>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\">Interested parties please contact Lai Xin Hui Serene at <a data-mz=\"\" href=\"mailto:xinhui@nus.edu.sg\" rel=\"no-follow\">xinhui@nus.edu.sg</a></p>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\"><b>More Information</b></p>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\"><strong>Location</strong>: Kent Ridge Campus\n<strong>Organization</strong>: Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine\n<strong>Department </strong>: Obstetrics & Gynaecology\n<strong>Employee Referral Eligible: </strong>No\n<strong>Job requisition ID : </strong>8276</p>\n\n\n","pdfUrl1":null,"location":"Singapore","location1":"아시아","location2":null,"location3":null,"type":"2","applyUrl":"https://careers.nus.edu.sg/NUS/job/Kent-Ridge-Research-Assistant-%28Dept-of-O&G%29-Kent/5728144/","fileUrl1":null,"fileUrl2":null,"fileUrl3":null,"fileUrl4":null,"fileUrl5":null,"fileUrl6":null,"fileUrl7":null,"workingHour":"Full Time","contractType":"Fixed Term","salary":null,"original_id":"UNI|280506","original_domain":"timeshighereducation.com","original_url":"https://www.timeshighereducation.com/unijobs/listing/280506","original_isPremium":null,"closeType":1,"closedAt":"2022-03-09T00:00:00.000Z","requireEducation":10,"managerTel":null,"managerFax":null,"managerEmail":"xinhui@nus.edu.sg","managerName":"NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF SINGAPORE","managerPhone":null,"managerAddress":"Singapore","log_hit":3,"log_like":0,"publishState":1,"organizationName":null,"organizationName_en":null,"organizationName_alt":null,"del_yn":"N","createdAt":"2022-02-07T20:16:51.000Z","updatedAt":"2022-02-07T20:16:51.000Z"},"organization":{"organizationId":483,"lv1Id":null,"lv2Id":null,"name":"National University of Singapore","name_en":"National University of Singapore","name_alt":",","introduction":"<p>As Singapore’s flagship university and among Asia’s best, the <a href=\"http://www.nus.edu.sg/\">National University of Singapore (NUS)</a> offers a global approach to education, research and entrepreneurship, with a focus on Asian perspectives and expertise.</p><p> </p><p>Our 17 faculties across three campuses in Singapore – Kent Ridge, Bukit Timah and Outram – provide a rigorous broad-based curriculum underscored by cross-faculty enrichment.
