Collaborate with the functional genomics screening laboratory
Collaborative CRISPR screening for complex human in vitro models.
Collaborate with the functional genomics screening laboratory (FGSL) on projects using complex human in vitro models for CRISPR screening to better understand model biology and enable target identification.
You must be a researcher eligible for MRC funding. Team applications are permitted. Where space permits, applications from UK based small and medium-sized enterprises and industry parties will…
Projects use complex human in vitro models for CRISPR screening. The FGSL is prioritising human in vitro models outside of cancer cell lines.
