Job Summary

This role offers an exciting opportunity for a Doctoral Researcher to join an internationally renowned research team at UKM, focusing on molecular immunobiology. The successful candidate will investigate cellular programs of gene control, epigenetics, and signal transduction in mammalian cells, with a specific emphasis on innate immune cells like macrophages and neutrophils. This research aims to understand mechanisms of malignant transformation, cellular differentiation, and immune cell effector functions, contributing to the development of new therapies for cancer and infectious diseases. The position involves learning and applying modern molecular and cell biological technologies, including in-vivo disease models, multi-omics, and single-cell analysis, within an innovative project exploring the epigenetic role of transcription factors in neutrophil immune functions. This is a chance to be part of cutting-edge research with significant clinical implications.
