Developing a Hepatocellular Carcinoma Subtype‑Specific PET Radiotracer for Preclinical PET Imaging

Salary: from £39,253 to £45,505 subject to experience, plus relocation allowance and visa costs if required.

Contract term: Fixed up to 6 years, subject to successful review at Year 3

About us

The CRUK Scotland Institute is a cancer research institute, situated in Glasgow with approximately 250 researchers split across 30 research groups consisting of PIs, postdoctoral scientists, PhD students and scientific officers. It is one of Europe's leading cancer research centres, supporting cutting-edge work into the molecular mechanisms of cancer development. As well as core support from Cancer Research UK, the Institute also receives an additional third of its total income from external grants and industry collaborations.

Project outline

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a highly heterogeneous and often treatment‑resistant cancer, with no clinically validated biomarkers to guide patients toward the most effective targeted therapies. A clinically important HCC subtype driven by activation of the canonical Wnt/β‑catenin pathway is strongly immune evasive and frequently resistant to immunotherapy. Despite its significance, this subtype cannot currently be reliably identified using genetic profiling alone.

This Jules Thorne funded programme brings together a multidisciplinary team to develop the first subtype specific precision approach for HCC. The project integrates metabolic biomarker discovery and validation, state of the art GEMMs and patient derived organoid models, clinical sample analysis from prospective patient cohorts, and advanced radiochemistry and metabolic PET imaging. Together, these approaches aim to establish the first subtype specific therapeutic strategy for early phase HCC clinical trials.

We are seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Research Scientist to contribute to the development of a PET imaging probe targeting glutamine synthetase (GS), a downstream effector of canonical Wnt/β catenin signalling, to detect this tumour subtype in vivo.

You will have a PhD (or near completion) in radiochemistry, chemistry, cancer biology, molecular imaging, biomedical sciences, or a related discipline.

More details are available on our website.
