A PhD position is available in the Pre-Cancer Immunology Lab at the UCL Cancer Institute, University College London. The research focuses on harnessing blood immune multi-omics to detect lung cancer years before clinical diagnosis, using a globally unique cohort of longitudinal samples from over 10,000 CT-screened individuals. The project involves both wet and dry lab work, integrating experimental and computational approaches to profile T cell responses and develop early detection biomarkers. The lab is multidisciplinary, with expertise spanning immunology, bioinformatics, and cancer biology. The successful candidate will join a vibrant team working on T cell-centric frameworks to track and target the development of invasive tumours, aiming to intercept cancer at its earliest stages. Applicants should have a strong background in biology, medical science, immunology, or bioinformatics, and be eligible for UK tuition fees. Funding covers UK tuition fees only, with enrolment in September 2025. Interested candidates should apply via the lab's website and may contact Dr James Reading for further information.

A PhD position is available in the Pre-Cancer Immunology Lab at the UCL Cancer Institute, University College London, under the supervision of Dr James Reading. The research focuses on harnessing blood immune multi-omics to detect lung cancer years before clinical diagnosis, using a globally unique cohort of longitudinal samples from over 10,000 CT-screened individuals. The lab integrates both wet and dry lab approaches, combining experimental and computational methods to map T cell recognition, regulation, and recirculation during pulmonary carcinogenesis. The team aims to develop T cell-focused blood tests and precision immune-interception drugs for early cancer detection and prevention. The lab is multidisciplinary, with expertise spanning immunology, molecular biology, computational biology, and clinical research. Applicants should have a strong background in biomedical sciences, biology, immunology, or related fields, and an interest in cancer biology and multi-omics. The position is open for September 2025 enrolment and covers UK tuition fees only. Interested candidates should apply via the lab's website and may contact Dr James Reading for further information. The lab offers a vibrant research environment with opportunities to contribute to cutting-edge cancer interception science.
