**Job Description**
This postdoctoral position focuses on investigating SET as a dependency and therapeutic target in paediatric Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML), a leading cause of childhood leukemic mortality with an unmet need for new targeted therapies. The role involves employing an integrated molecular approach, including RNA-seq, ChiP-seq, mouse modelling, and gene silencing technology, to improve overall survival in children with AML. The research builds on the team’s recent discovery linking high SET expression to worse survival and its role in abrogating AML clonogenic potential.
