An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Research Associate within the Multiple Sclerosis and Gene Therapy research groups in the Centre for Neuroinflammation and Neurodegeneration, Division of Brain Sciences, Department of Medicine at Imperial College London.

You will work on a Multiple Sclerosis Society funded project investigating the role of meningeal inflammation in the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis, using novel lentiviral vectors to chronically deliver cytokines to the brain in an experimental model of MS pathology.
