Job Description
The research focuses on understanding and targeting epigenetic and splicing factors in high-risk neuroblastoma. This work is highly mechanistic and translational leveraging cutting-edge genetic epigenomic and pharmacologic tools in patient-derived xenografts and genetically engineered mouse models to inform better therapies.
Key Responsibilities
Design and conduct experiments investigating the role of epigenetic regulators in regulating therapy resistance.
Utilize molecular cellular and biochemical techniques including CRISPR RNA-seq CUT&RUN ATAC-seq HiC flow cytometry and 3D tumor modeling.
Analyze how epigenetic modulation alters chromatin states and cell state transitions.
Evaluate preclinical efficacy of molecular glue drugs in combination with standard therapies.
Collaborate within a multidisciplinary team including cancer biologists and clinicians.
Present findings at national and international meetings and contribute to manuscript preparation and grant proposals.
Qualifications
A Ph.D. (or nearing completion) in molecular biology cancer biology biochemistry developmental biology immunology or related fields.
Strong background in epigenetics transcriptional regulation or chromatin biology is highly desirable.
Experience with mouse models genome editing or next-generation sequencing is a plus.
Excellent communication skills critical thinking and a collaborative mindset.
A strong publication record demonstrating scientific rigor and productivity.
