The research will build upon work undertaken in Dr McCarthy’s academic research program at Oxford and ongoing developments at Genentech. One major area of research interest will continue to revolve around the prioritization and functional characterization of therapeutic targets for example, through implementing strategies for connecting regulatory variants to their downstream targets, and the high throughput perturbation of those targets in suitable cellular systems. A second strand involves the integration of high dimensional omic data (in particular proteomics) with clinical and genetic data to provide mechanistic insights into disease biology, and to identify therapeutic targets and biomarkers. The group will continue to develop and apply these approaches in the area of metabolic disease (building on existing collaborations) but will aim to implement the approaches and strategies developed across the wider range of diseases of interest to Genentech. The successful candidate will have a PhD and/or MD from a highly reputable institution, with training in either the life sciences (biology, medicine etc) or computational sciences (maths, physics, computational science, bioinformatics etc) with proficiency and experience that spans both. They will have direct experience in applying computational and statistical approaches to high dimensional genetic and genomic data.As well as a strong publication record, they will have excellent communication skills, and interest in exploiting the potential of human genetics to gain fundamental insights into the biology of disease.
