Job description

Postdoctoral Position Available

Postdoctoral positions are available immediately to work in the areas of DNA damage repair and cancer biology. The lab focuses on the roles of tumor suppressor genes and oncogenes in DNA repair, cell cycle regulation, and other signaling pathways involved in tumor initiation, progression and metastasis. The approaches we take range from mammalian cell culture, molecular biology, biochemistry to mouse genetics. We also conduct large-scale proteomic studies and whole genome CRISPR sgRNA in vitro and in vivo screens to explore various cancer related signal transduction pathways.
