Postdoctoral Fellow - Epigenetics and transcription dysregulation in cancer
Date Posted Wednesday, January 24, 2024 Position is with Lab / Branch / Program Name of Hiring Official / Investigator
Job Description
Our group is investigating the dysregulation of gene expression in cancer, mainly focusing on breast cancer and osteosarcoma.
We primarily use p53 (wild type and mutant) and RUNX proteins as our models. The selected candidate will investigate the biological functions of recently discovered chromatin regulation in breast cancer and osteosarcoma.
The ultimate goal is to develop novel therapeutic strategies to combat these cancer types. For recent publications from the lab, please go to the website :
