Our research is focused on understanding the genetic/genomic/epigenetic changes that drive endocrine cancer growth and metastases, and to use this knowledge to improve diagnosis and prognostication, and treatment for these cancers. Currently, we have three main areas of investigations: 1) identification of altered pathways in endocrine neoplasms using an integrated genomic analysis of human samples and characterizing the functions of these altered genes/pathways using in vitro and in vivo models, 2) discovery of therapeutic targets and novel anticancer agents for endocrine cancers, and 3) genetic studies in inherited cancer syndromes to identify susceptibility gene(s).

Under the direction of the Principal Investigator, the scientist with expertise in genetics, molecular biology and or cell biology will conduct translation research. The major responsibilities for this position are to independently perform functional genomic studies using in vitro and in vivo models of cancers, analyze biomarkers for diagnosis and prognosis in human biospecimens, and evaluate novel targets for cancer therapy. The candidate would be responsible for supervising and mentoring/training junior scientist and establishing collaborations.

Ph.D. and/or M.D. degree or equivalent doctoral degree, and should have at least 5 years of postdoctoral experience and a substantive record of publications.

Please submit current CV, publications list and brief statement of research interests.
