About this position

Location: Central Cambridge Project title: Exploring functional effects of dysregulated microRNA-mediated cellular pathways in malignant germ cell tumours - Dr Matthew Murray. Malignant germ cell tumours (GCTs) are characterised by microRNA (miRNA) dysregulation. Our studies to date have identified key tumour-suppressor and oncogenic candidate miRNAs warranting further study. We have already targeted/manipulated over-expressed miR-371~373 and miR-302/367 miRNAs and replenished downregulated miRNAs (let-7 and miR-100-5p/125b-5p) in malignant GCT cell lines with phenotypic and genotypic effects.
