PROJECT: Research Assistant

ORGANISATION: Imperial College – Hammersmith Hospital – Department of Surgery and Cancer

The department needs students interested in breast cancer research. Voluntary positions are now available in the Department of Surgery and Cancer at Hammersmith Hospital Campus (Imperial College).

The main focus of our lab is identifying new molecular pathways implicated in Estrogen Receptor regulation and their involvement in breast cancer progression.

Students will become familiar with various techniques in biochemistry, molecular and cellular biology.

Please contact Dr Georgios Giamas on g.giamas@imperial.ac.uk

We are a couple and we are looking for a one bedroom flat or a large room in West London along the tube stations of the District line from Richmond/Wimbledon up to Earl’s Court.

Please contact Giorgio.

Would you be interested in taking part in our osteoarthritis research study?

We hope to improve early diagnosis and rehabilitation of knee osteoarthritis by studying movement patterns in the knee. We are looking for volunteers over 18 years with either no history of lower limb injury, those with a previous knee injury, or people diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis.

The study involves a one-off visit to Charing Cross Hospital, lasting about 2 hours. We will place markers on your pelvis and legs and ask you to perform maximum contractions of your leg muscles and some daily living tasks, e.g. walking and sit-to-stand.

If you are interested in taking part, or if you would like to find out more, please contact Yasmin Mowat or Dr Lynsey Duffell on 020 3313 4437, or e-mail OAStudy@imperial.ac.uk
