Applicants must have either already obtained or be predicted to secure a first-class MSci degree (at least 2:1) or a BSc (at least a merit) plus an MSc (at least 2:1) in a relevant subject or international equivalents of the relevant first degree and the Masters’ degree, to meet the entry requirements. UCL actively supports equality, diversity and inclusion and encourages applications from all sections of society. Applications from candidates under-represented within our research student community: BAME British applicants, applicants with disabilities and older applicants are strongly encouraged.</p><p>As a candidate you will be a motivated individual with a keen interest in undertaking research in the field of immunotherapy.</p><p><strong>Project description</strong></p><p>A 4-year full-time PhD studentship is available from October 2026 in Biotherapeutics and Advanced Therapies Team within the Science, Research and Innovation operational group (SR&amp;I) of the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) in collaboration with the UCL Department of Chemistry. The student will be required to complete two 3-month rotations in the wider Agency, within their first year allowing them to gain unique insight into public health research.</p><p>The project will be supervised by Dr Deepa Rajagopal and Dr. Sandrine Vessillier at MHRA and Professor Vijay Chudasama at UCL. The studentship is anticipated to commence 1st October 2026. The studentship will offer a yearly stipend, currently £22,780 and reviewed annually.</p><h4>Job description</h4><p><strong>About the Project</strong></p><p>Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy has shown great success in treating relapsed or refractory blood cancers, with several clinically approved treatments. However, current CAR-T therapies are associated with toxicological challenges, additionally involve complex, costly GMP manufacturing processes, and are associated with potential risks of introduction of viral components. The ErbB family of receptors, including epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), ErbB2, ErbB3, and ErbB4, play a crucial role in the development and progression of various cancers. Building up on the global success of the Covid-19 mRNA vaccine, this multi-disciplinary project will investigate mRNA-based in vivo CAR T-cell generation as a potential new approach for targeting T-cells for generation of efficient anti-tumour responses to gain an understanding of the immunotoxicological profile. The proposed project aims to leverage the mRNA platform to assess feasibility of in vivo reprogramming of circulating T-cells with a second- generation, pan ErbB-specific CAR (bearing the promiscuous ErbB ligand) for cancer immunotherapy, evaluating both anti-tumour efficacy and immunotoxicity. The in vivo approach will additionally employ targeting antibodies (Abs) to functionalise the mRNA lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) to facilitate uptake and targeted mRNA expression for in vivo therapeutic CAR T-cell induction. Recent studies indicate that the in vivo targeting approach produced CAR-T cells with similar anti-tumour activity to conventional CAR-T-cells and potential therapeutic benefit has been observed in disease conditions such as inflammatory cardiac fibrosis.</p><p>The successful candidate will acquire knowledge, expertise with training in a diverse range of laboratory techniques including LNP manufacture and functionalisation for selective targeting; in vitro, ex vivo and in vivo assays for therapeutic efficacy; and toxicological evaluation incorporating cellular, molecular biological and flowcytometry based assays. Furthermore, the student will benefit from the multidisciplinary expertise and supervision of Dr. Deepa Rajagopal, Dr. Sandrine Vessillier, Dr Christopher van der Walle (MHRA) and Professor Vijay Chudasama (UCL), gaining access to multiple laboratories and facilities across the two sites.</p><p>The candidate will also gain unique access to both UCL and MHRA / Civil Service training courses and be encouraged to present their work at both national and international conferences.</p><p><strong>Main Methods, Techniques and skills to be employed:</strong></p><ul><li>Molecular cloning, in vitro transcription assays, mRNA production and characterisation</li><li>LNP manufacture and characterisation</li><li>Conjugation with targeting antibodies</li><li>Cell culture and flowcytometry</li><li>Various immunological and biochemical assays</li><li>Statistical analysis of data</li><li>Communication skills</li><li>Project management</li></ul><p><strong>About MHRA</strong></p><p>The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency is an executive agency of the Department of Health and Social Care in the United Kingdom, ensuring that healthcare products meet safety standards and contribute to public health through the effective regulation of medicines and medical devices, underpinned by science and research.</p><p><strong>About S&amp;R</strong></p><p>The Science and Research (S&amp;R) function is an operational group of the MHRA based at a state-of-the-art scientific facility in South Mimms Hertfordshire.
