Research Fellow
September 9, 2018 - October 10, 2018
The laboratory of Professor Xiaole Shirley Liu (http://liulab.dfci.harvard.edu/) at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Harvard T.H.Chan School of Public Health invites applicants for a computational biology postdoctoral position. The research in the laboratory focuses on designing bioinformatics algorithms and integrative genomics approaches to model gene regulation, find novel drug targets and combinations, and predict response to targeted and immunotherapies in cancer. Recently Dr. Liu became the PI of the NCI Cancer Immunologic Data Commons (CIDC) Center to develop the bioinformatics algorithms and infrastructure to integrate comprehensive profiling of all NCI-sponsored immunoncology trials, with the goal of predicting cancer immunotherapy outcomes.
