Healthcare Scientist

As an HCPC registered scientist, you will play a pivotal role in supporting one of the busiest stem cell transplantation laboratories in Europe. The Transplantation Programme is licensed by the Human Tissue Authority and accredited by JACIE, making us an attractive centre for numerous clinical trials investigating cellular therapy products for various diseases. Additionally, UCLH is a centre selected to treat patients with licensed commercial products and will soon participate in the exciting field of Tumour Infiltrating Lymphocyte (TIL) therapies.

To manage and maintain the high throughput service, strong working relationships with several teams are crucial. The laboratory works closely with clinical and quality management teams to ensure the best possible outcomes for patients and continuous service improvement. Supporting the laboratory as a dedicated and responsible scientist will be a challenging and rewarding role.
