Postdoctoral Research Fellow - Bio-Medical Sciences Department

A POSTDOC research opportunity is available to explore the mechanisms of cell signaling and metabolic alterations in cancer. Our research focuses on understanding the molecular mechanisms determining tumor cell proliferation and survival in response to aberrant signaling pathway activity. We study these processes using various approaches, e.g., PMID 32156782, PMID 32291414, PMID 38937602, and PMID 39392755. We also strive to translate our findings into novel therapeutic strategies, e.g., PMID 38378752. Current projects investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying these processes, specifically focusing on the nature of mitochondrial stress and its impact on tumor cell metabolism and further advancing the therapeutic strategy. Postdoctoral research projects will stem from these findings.

Responsibilities of the postdoc fellow include: (1) Plan and conduct research experiments, including molecular and cellular biology and preclinical studies. (2) Demonstrate proficient problem-solving skills and excellent attention to detail. (3) Summarize research findings, present data at national meetings, and prepare manuscripts. (4) Communicate and work effectively with other team members.
