We are seeking a highly talented and enthusiastic postdoctoral researcher to join the EV Biology Research Group, to support development of an Extracellular Vesicle (EV)-based platform for diagnosis of clinically significant prostate cancer. This is a full-time appointment on a fixed term contract for 6 months. The project is led by Dr Jason Webber (Swansea University Medical School) and is funded by the Medical Research Council – Impact Acceleration Account.

When diagnosing patients with prostate cancer (PCa), it is difficult to discriminate patients with slow growing tumours from those with clinically significant, aggressive, disease who require urgent treatment. Currently, doctors rely on tissue biopsy, which is an invasive procedure with potential for numerous complications. There remains an unmet need for a simple, non-invasive, assay for diagnosis of PCa. Recently, there has been much interest in the use of extracellular vesicles (EVs) as a source of biomarkers and we have developed several proof-of-concept assays highlighting the potential application of EVs in early detection of PCa.

The appointee will facilitate the development of a plate-based test to detect glycosaminoglycans present on the surface of EVs, to identify patients with clinically significant PCa. The project aims to refine the assay through development of standards and assessment of assay utility within a range of patient biofluids. This is a multidisciplinary project that involves collaboration with researchers at the Swansea Bay University Health Board, and the University of Turku.

Applicants should have a degree in a biomedical science subject and relevant laboratory experience. Applicants are required to have experimental research experience in a range of molecular biology techniques – this must include ELISAs/immunoaffinity assays. Evidence of conduct, interpretation and reporting of qualitative and quantitative research, as well as excellent organisational skills, are essential. Experience working with extracellular vesicles and/or clinical samples is of additional benefit.

The candidate’s research interests are expected to align with research activity within the Medical School (https://www.swansea.ac.uk/medicine/research/) especially that within PRIME Centre Wales (https://healthandcareresearchwales.org/about-research-community/wales-centre-primary-and-emergency-care-research-prime-centre-wales) and/or the Welsh Centre for Emergency Medicine Research (https://sbuhb.nhs.wales/urgentout-of-hours/emergency-department-ed/the-welsh-centre-for-emergency-medicine-research/). PRIME Centre Wales is a research centre focussing on primary and emergency care with a remit that includes sustaining and promoting academic emergency medicine. The Welsh Centre for Emergency Medicine Research was formed as a collaboration between the Royal College of Emergency Medicine, Swansea Bay University Health Board and Swansea University (Medicine, Engineering and Chemistry) and works closely with pharmaceutical and industrial collaborators to evaluate both current and new drugs and therapies. It has a dedicated laboratory with state-of-the-art equipment at Morriston Hospital and access to other technologies within the Medical School facilities on Singleton campus. Research within these centres is focused on bioscience, translational medicine, epidemiology, health services and public health, especially in areas which have a major impact on healthcare in Wales.

The Emergency Department has a strong culture of research and has successfully recruited thousands of patients to numerous research studies. Clinical and non-clinical academic staff work together in a multidisciplinary setting and are committed to developing and training early career academics.

The Medical School is a progressive, dynamic, and aspirational part of the Faculty of Medicine, Health and Life Science located on the Singleton Campus of Swansea University and provides an interdisciplinary approach, educating and training the next generation of doctors, life scientists, and health professionals. It collaborates with the NHS, business and the third sector in a spirit of open innovation and has established itself as a world-class place to learn, research and innovate. The Medical School ranks top 5 for research quality (REF2021) and is consistently top 5 in various subject-specific teaching league tables. The Medical School became the first department within the University to achieve an Equality Challenge Unit (ECU) Athena SWAN Charter Silver Award in 2015, and this was re-awarded in 2019 in recognition of its commitment to equality. The University also holds the Athena SWAN Charter Silver Award. Swansea is a great place to live and work, the gateway to the Gower with its fantastic beaches and close to the Brecon Beacons.
