Job Description:
We are seeking a Bioinformatics Specialist to join the team in the laboratories of Jorge Moscat and Maria T. Diaz-Meco to investigate the role of inflammation and metabolism in cancer. The Moscat lab is studying the signaling pathways that regulate inflammation and cell proliferation, and their interface with metabolism, which are central in the control of tumor initiation and progression. The Diaz-Meco lab is studying metabolism and inflammation in the context of prostate cancer, with the aim of understanding the biology of the disease and to identify potentially novel therapeutic targets. The Bioinformatics Specialist will work closely with the wet lab scientists and principal investigators and their teams. Duties and Responsibilities:
