We are looking for highly motivated detail-oriented individuals genuinely interested in research bridging medicine and genomics to join the Tsankov lab at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City. Our labs overall vision is to build data-driven quantitative models that improve diagnosis find new drug-able pathways and personalize treatment of patients with lung cancer and respiratory diseases. We analyze clinical samples from patients with the goal of unraveling the underlying regulatory mechanisms in normal lung cell homeostasis and interactions with the immune and stromal microenvironment as well as elucidating changes in cellular and tissue regulation in individuals with lung disease and cancer. New lab members have the option of being cross-trained to apply and develop computational frameworks and experimental techniques for high-throughput next generation sequencing (NGS) datasets (e.g. single-cell transcriptomic epigenomic and spatial data). The vibrant multidisciplinary training environment will allow for learning the state-of-the-art in single cell genomics analysis/technologies and for close interactions with clinical scientists and our collaborators at Mount Sinai and other institutions around the globe.
