Job Description:
The Peltz Laboratory at the Stanford University School of Medicine has multiple biomedical discovery programs, which generate complex datasets using advanced genetic and genomic methodology, that include: (i) Computational genetic analysis of multiple mouse models examining responses to drugs of abuse (cocaine, opiates and nicotine) that are generated by a multi-center (UO1) project; (ii) Developing artificial intelligence methods for genetic discovery; (iii) Analysis of human liver organoids to identify novel pathways affecting liver development, and for liver cancer treatment; (iv) A multi-center clinical trail that tests a new therapy, which emerged from a computational mouse genetic discovery, for preventing withdrawal in babies born to mothers that consume opiates; (v) Pharmacokinetic and metabolomic data obtained from mice with humanized livers, and from human subjects, using a new microcapillary sampling method. For each project, whole genome sequence, single-cell RNA-sequence, and/or metabolomic datasets are analyzed in an integrative fashion.
