About the Project

We are looking for a PhD student with strong computational skills interested in interdisciplinary research at the boundary between immunology, cancer and computer science. The PhD project will be supervised jointly by Prof. Benny Chain in the Division of Immunity and Infection, and Prof. Kwee Yong in the UCL Cancer Institute.

The PhD project focuses on understanding the role of T cell immunity in regulating disease progression in myeloma. The project aims to use new advances in AI-driven structural biology (e.g. alphafold) to identify the T cells which recognise the cancer, and to probe and model their functional dynamics as disease progresses.

About you

We are looking for a passionate and committed individual, who wants to join the next generation of researchers in the field of immuno-oncology. We will consider students from a engineering, mathematics, physics or biology background. Experience of programing would be helpful.

Eligibility

Applicants must fulfil the requirements for classification as a UK student. You must have (or about to be awarded) a First or Upper Second (2.1) Bachelor and/or Masters level degree in a relevant subject.

What we offer

This is a fully funded 4-year PhD studentship funded by Cancer Research UK which covers tuition fees at Home rate, and a non-taxable annual stipend of 24,643 per year.
