We discover and utilize novel chemical probes in genetically engineered mouse (GEM) models of cancer, various functional genomic approaches including genome-wide CRISPR knockout screens, and epigenomic technologies such as RNA- Seq, ChIP-Seq, CUT&RUN and ATAC-Seq.
We plan to expand our efforts in identifying novel therapeutic targets in genetically defined tumors. Recently, we have discovered and patented novel proteolysis targeting chimeric molecules (PROTACs) that induce selective degradation of oncoproteins and received grants to further develop these molecules as cancer therapeutics. Excitingly, some of our chemical probes have synergistic anti-tumor efficacy in combination with immunotherapy.
The positions will provide deep exposure and training in cancer functional genomics, chromatin biology, cancer immunology and cancer drug discovery and can be geared to the individuals career goals.
We seek highly motivated individuals with a Ph.D. or equivalent degree in immunology, genetics or molecular & cell biology. Experience with tumor immune profiling and hands on mice work is required.
