Scientist at the Institute of Cancer Research, London | Genome Stability and Innate Immunity Lab | CRUK Career Development Fellow http://zierlab.bsky.social
The lab’s first pre-print is out! ‘A microscopy reporter for cGAMP reveals rare cGAS activation following DNA damage, and a lack of correlation with micronuclear cGAS enrichment’ biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
If you have just finished your PhD (2023 or 2024) and are looking for a postdoc position in Spain, we are inviting researchers to apply for the "Juan de la Cierva Fellowship program". We have cool ongoing projects in the lab. Please get in touch! aei.gob.es/en/announcemen…
If you're looking for a postdoc position, consider this one! Highly recommended!
JOB ALERT!🚨 The @MansfeldLab is #hiring a Postdoc to characterise how protein oxidation regulates cell cycle proteins involved in #DNAReplication, #DNADamage, or #Ubiquitylation. Don’t miss out, apply! mansfeldlab.com
Professor Kevin Harrington and Dr @alison_tree share how @CR_UK's 'RadNet' funding will enable the ICR and @royalmarsdenNHS to make #Radiotherapy treatments more targeted and gentler, benefitting patients for years to come. icr.ac.uk/news-archive/m…
Interested in innate immunity and genome instability? Consider joining our lab! Only a couple of days left to apply for a fully-funded postdoc position. More information here: jobs.icr.ac.uk/vacancies/1042…
Couldn't have asked for a better end to the amazing #NAIS2024 meeting, with @vvnlebrec being awarded one of the poster awards! Thank you to all the organisers, and also to all the lab's contributors to Vivianne's project!



We have a project available to join the CRUK City of London MBPhD Programme at QMUL starting in 2025. Check out project details here colcc.ac.uk/2025-mbphd-pro… and CRUK CoL training opportunities and eligibility requirements here colcc.ac.uk/mbphd-students… qmul.ac.uk/mb-phd/
If you like this kind of work we have a funded PhD place in the lab starting in Oct 2025 to explore antiviral innate immune responses across species. See here for details of how to apply or ask me for more info: bbsrcdtp.lifesci.cam.ac.uk/available-targ…
New preprint from the lab describing how most poxviruses, including avipoxviruses, antagonise DNA-PK to block cGAS/STING-dependent interferon production during infection. Is this a stalemate in the molecular host/pathogen arms race?biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
I am looking for a highly motivated PhD student to join my lab @ICR_London , please help to spread the message: icr.ac.uk/studying-and-t…

Hugely well-deserved award for a hugely important discovery!
Congratulations to Zhijian “James” Chen, 2024 #LaskerAward winner! – “for the discovery of the cGAS enzyme that senses foreign and self DNA, solving the mystery of how DNA stimulates immune and inflammatory responses.” laskerfoundation.org/winners/cgas-e… #Lasker2024 #LaskerLaureate
New from @HironoriFunabi1's lab: CDCA7, whose mutations alter DNA methylation pattern and cause immunodeficiency, is a novel sensor for a special class of methylated DNA. #RockefellerScience rockefeller.edu/news/36393-new…
Come and join our team @ICR_London! We have a well-funded Higher Scientific Officer position available, ideal for a Biochemist / Structural Biologist. The role is research-focussed with some lab management mixed in. jobs.icr.ac.uk/vacancies/1009…
Do you want to do a PhD in cancer research in the world’s most beautiful city tinyurl.com/mtjk922p? Thanks to the generosity of donors and @FlindersFound, I have a fully-funded PhD position in my lab starting 2025. For more info, check out tinyurl.com/bdh7j96t and/or DM me
OPEN CALLS 📢📢 Are you a structural biologist looking for a drug discovery project? Join us on a collaborative project with focus on structure-based drug design! For any Q feel free to contact Marina Mapelli Deadline: August 20, 2024 research.ieo.it/careers-and-jo…
Super-creative and supportive PI, great lab members, fun environment, excellent projects! Could not recommend this more!
