The opening represents an exciting opportunity to explore the role that RNA regulation plays in neuronal development, integrating data on structure, dynamics and interactions of proteins and RNAs with data on cellular interaction and function.
The research will focus on understanding the molecular basis of local mRNA translation in neuronal development. Important questions include, but are not limited to, how the proteins recognise large networks of functionally related mRNAs targets and how the system is modulated by protein and RNA modifications during development and in response to signalling.
The Ramos lab, where the project is based, promotes independent, creative, thinking, and projects are often in collaboration. The work is in collaboration with the group of Dr Ian Taylor (Francis Crick Institute), Prof Kostas Thalassinos (UCL) and Prof Rickie Patani (Francis Crick Institute and UCL Institute of Neurology), but also RNA biology groups expert in bioinformatics and in the specific state-of-the-art in cell biology analysis.
The post holder will work in close collaboration with a cell biologist and a technician who are also funded by the grant.
