EPIC(GB) Translational Research Technician

You will be a highly organised and proactive professional with experience managing tissue and cell-based resources for research and utilising these resources within a research environment. You will have excellent communication and stakeholder-management skills, with the potential to drive delivery across multidisciplinary teams.

We build teams of people from different heritages and lifestyles from across the world, whose talent and contributions complement each other to greatest effect. We believe diversity in all its forms delivers greater impact through research, teaching and student experience.

EPICGB is an ambitious, large-scale research programme designed to accelerate access to life-extending therapies for patients with glioblastoma by establishing an adaptive, multi-cohort clinical trial platform integrating pharmacokinetic (PK), pharmacodynamic (PD) and clinical outcome data to prioritise treatments with the greatest likelihood of benefit. The programme brings together a network of NHS and academic partners across Yorkshire and the UK to deliver innovative window-of-opportunity (WOO) studies and translational analyses.

The EPICGB Translational Research Technician will support the co-ordination of tissue transfers, processing and biobanking of tissue samples for PK/PD analyses and broader translational research, and experimentally triage potential PD biomarkers to guide further analyses by industrial and academic partners. This exciting post combines development of unique tissue resources within EPICGB and leading patient-derived experimental models (Sheffield Living Biobank), with clinically-driven cell and tissue-based experimental work with the potential to impact trial delivery and benefit patients within rapid timeframes., The University of Sheffield is a remarkable place to work.
