Job Description
The postdoc can work in various tumor types, including adult cancers such as breast cancer or glioblastoma, or various pediatric cancers such as rhabdomyosarcoma, Ewing Sarcoma, and medulloblastoma. In all contexts, we are interested in how either developmental transcription factors, or specialized mechanisms of mRNA translation, contribute to the ability of tumor cells to survive various stressors by enabling cellular plasticity. Our work is highly molecular in nature, and we utilize numerous cutting edge techniques such as RNA-seq, CUT&RUN, ATAC-Seq, Ribo-seq, amongst others. In addition, the work spans from biochemical/structural studies (in collaboration with others) to cell based and animal models (both zebrafish and mouse).
