Victory Congressional Fellowship
Postdoctoral Fellowship in Crispino Lab in Hematology
A postdoctoral fellowship is available in the laboratory of Dr. John Crispino in the Division of Experimental Hematology. Dr. Crispino’s laboratory studies the biology of normal and malignant hematopoiesis with an emphasis on the factors that drive progression of benign disorders to acute leukemia. Research in the lab ranges from the basic science of transcription to translational research aimed at developing treatments for blood disorders. A current major focus of the lab is to understand the increased risk of leukemia …
Postdoctoral Fellowship in Abraham Lab in Computational Biology
The Abraham lab studies gene expression-regulation mechanisms in healthy and diseased mammalian cells. We are recruiting computational biologists to collaboratively develop computational tools and frameworks to analyze high-throughput sequencing (-omics) data. We build analytical software pipelines to find answers to biological questions about gene regulation in big datasets, usually from applied sequencing experiments like ChIP-Seq, RNA-Seq, and Hi-ChIP. Our interests center on enhancers and super-enhancers. Specifically, we seek to understand how these regulatory elements establish gene expression programs in healthy …
Postdoctoral Fellowship in Chen Lab in Chemical Biology & Therapeutic
The Chen Lab studies: i) Chemical modulation of transcription; ii) Signal crosstalk among transcription factors; and iii) Selective inhibition of highly homologous enzymes. We take a hypothesis-driven and technology-enabled multidisciplinary approach to develop chemical probes and investigate biological mechanisms. Particularly we use the promiscuous xenobiotic nuclear receptors (PXR and CAR) as models to investigate the transcription networks that regulate therapeutic responses. PXR and CAR regulate the detoxification system (e.g., by transcriptionally controlling CYP3A4 and CYP3A5—drug-metabolizing enzymes that metabolize more than …
Postdoctoral Fellowship in Rosch lab in Host Microbe Interactions
