Job overview

Clinical Fellowship in Bone Marrow Transplantation & Immune Effector Cell Therapy

Applications are invited for this world-class training opportunity in all aspects of clinical haematopoietic stem cell transplantation and CAR T cell therapy. The University Hospitals Bristol NHS Foundation Trust is one of the largest acute Trusts in the country, and a major teaching and research centre for the South West.

The instruction in BMT theory and techniques our fellows receive is second to none.

Duties will primarily cover the medical review of patients undergoing autologous and allogeneic stem cell transplantation and CAR T cell therapy.
