Fixed term, 3 years

MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Cambridge, UK

The position is for a Postdoctoral Scientist with expertise on kinases, protein biochemistry and enzymology. You will be responsible for expressing, purifying kinases and analyze the mechanism of action of newly discovered small molecule activators using biochemical, enzymatic and cell-based assays.

Dr Anne Bertolotti’s pioneering research programme focuses on innovative approaches to boost stress signaling pathways to increase cellular resilience and protect from diverse diseases including neurodegenerative diseases. We have developed approaches to inhibit or activate phosphatases or kinases of the integrated stress response and are progressing towards a structural understanding of these important enzymes (Tsaytler et al., 2011, Science, 332, 91-4; Das et al., 2015, Science, 348, 239-242; Carrara, M., Sigurdardottir, A., & Bertolotti, A. 2017, Nat Struct Mol Biol; Krzyzosiak, A., Sigurdardottir, A. et al., A. 2018, Cell; Szaruga M, et al,. Nat Commun, 2023. 8;14(1):5535; Fatalska A., Hodgson G, et al., Mol Cell. 2024). The small molecules discovered by the lab are currently tested in clinical trials for neurodegenerative diseases. You will provide fundamental mechanistic insights on these important enzymes and expand on the next generation of small-molecule activating kinases.

You will join a strong inter-disciplinary team at the LMB, which has broad expertise extending from biochemistry, structural, chemical, molecular and cell biology through to transgenic animal models of degenerative diseases. The team also has an excellent record of innovative basic research leading to applications in medicine.
