Action for A-T: Post-Doctoral Career Development Fellowship

  Monday, 09 Jan 2023 | Funding Deadline

The Action for A-T and MRC Nucleic Acid Therapy Accelerator (NATA) Career Development Fellowship is a 2-year programme with associated funding of up to £250,000. The purpose of the Fellowship is to support post-doctoral scientists to become independent group leaders and drive high quality research in Ataxia Telangiectasia (A-T). To be considered for a Fellowship the project should be focused on the use of nucleic acid-based approaches to help understand the underlying biology of A-T and/or to develop new methods of treatment. For example, this could include:

• nucleic acid therapies (NATs) for the management or treatment of A-T
• the development of “read-through” therapeutics for patients with premature STOP codons
• novel delivery mechanisms for the targeting of nucleic acid therapies to tissues affected by A-T
• the regulation of the ATM pathway using NATs to understand DNA repair mechanisms and susceptibility to cancer

Deadline for proposals: 9 January 2023
