We are seeking motivated, creative postdoctoral fellows to work in the area of computational biology. The focus of research in the lab is to collaborate with lab members to develop and apply computational methods for our genome-wide profiling data (RNA-seq, ChIP-seq and others) to support the study of the molecular and cancer biology of pediatric cancer as well as the mechanism of genetic and epigenetic alterations in cancer. We are a highly dynamic interactive team working to synergistically drive each individual’s projects using a multitude of state-of-the-art techniques and systems to address interesting questions. Our lab is particularly interested in addressing the interface between replication stress, homologous recombination, transcription stress and proteotoxicity in a variety of settings.
