The post-holder will work in partnership with scientists at Sheffield and Cell and Gene Therapy

The successful candidate will have excellent opportunities to interact with biopharmaceutical companies, present research findings externally, and contribute to research publications
.

disease is treated, then we would love to hear from you.
