Job Description
Join the forefront of groundbreaking research at City of Hope where we're changing lives and making a real difference in the fight against cancer, diabetes, and other life-threatening illnesses. Our dedicated and compassionate faculty and staff are driven by a common mission: Contribute to innovative approaches in predicting, preventing, and curing diseases, shaping the future of medicine through cutting-edge research. A Postdoctoral Fellow position is available in the Department of Cancer Biology and Molecular Medicine, Beckman Research Institute at City of Hope under the mentorship of Dr. WenYong Chen . We are looking for a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow interested in studying aging and leukemia. Our lab is interested in studying genetic and epigenetic alterations during aging of normal hematopoietic stem cells and in leukemia stem cells that lead to genomic instability, leukemia development and drug resistance. The lab utilizes bone marrow transplantation and genetic knockout mouse models, stem cell biology, and molecular and imaging techniques to study hematopoietic/leukemic stem cells, and molecular regulation of genomic instability. The outstanding candidate may also be eligible for NIH T32 postdoctoral training fellowship in the DNA-damage-response-and-oncogenic-signaling program.
