ABOUT US
The Alzheimer’s Research UK Drug Discovery Institute at University College London (ARUK UDDI) is a member of the Alzheimer’s Research UK funded Dementia Discovery Alliance (DDA) – a highly successful trilogy of institutes (alongside Oxford and Cambridge) translating cutting-edge academic innovations into medicines for patients living with neurodegenerative diseases.
Embedded in the rich translational environment of the UCL Institute of Neurology, the ARUK UDDI is uniquely placed to find novel targets, rapidly validate identified novel targets and mechanisms, establish screens and progress projects from proof of concept to candidate selection.
ABOUT THE ROLE
As a Research Technician at the UDDI, you will join a multidisciplinary team of scientists working on identification and validation of novel and high potential therapeutic targets and later stage compound evaluation to support candidate selection.
You’ll run experiments in vitro to validate potential new therapeutic targets, develop cell-based and cell-free assays suitable for screening small molecule compounds, and run target and phenotypic screening assays. This is a great opportunity to work collaboratively with the wider UDDI team and their network to contribute to a broad spectrum of projects.
The post is available immediately and funded by Alzheimer’s Research UK until 30 April 2026 in the first instance.
