SUMMARY:Associate Research Scientist
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Pathology and Cell Biology at the Columbia University Medical Center is recruiting an Associate Research Scientist in the laboratory of Dr. Kevin Gardner. The Gardner lab studies basic mechanisms of epigenetic gene regulation in breast cancer. The lab approaches basic questions in breast cancer biology with an integrated interdisciplinary focus on fundamental mechanisms of chromatin-based transcriptional control\, epigenetic regulation and the influence of the environment diet and metabolic imbalance (Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2009 Nov 17;106(46):19286-91; Nat Struct Mol Biol. 2010 Dec;17(12):1406-13; Nat Commun. 2012 Jan 17;3:633; Nat Commun. 2013;4:1449). Major goals include understanding the role of metabolism and the transcriptional cross-talk between epigenetic co-regulators and hormone receptor-mediated signaling pathways in both enhancer function and promoter-targeted mechanisms of gene control. An essential component of this work will involve developing omic perspectives that will integrate next-generation sequencing with genomics\, transcriptomics\, epigenomics\, proteomics and metabolomics using model systems and patient-derived samples. The projects will be supported by access to an established cohort of diverse breast cancer patient samples with extensive molecular and genomic characterization to aid in developing translation perspectives in gene-network and pathway discovery that will have practical implications for improving breast cancer diagnosis\, treatment\, and prevention. \nPostdoctoral experience and an extensive background in bioinformatics including high throughput analysis pipelines such as\, ChIPSeq\, RNASeq\, ExomeSeq\, microarray analysis\, peak calling and comparative enrichment analyses. The candidate will provide support for routine CHIPSeq\, DNAse Hypersensitivity\, ATAC-seq and MethylIP Analysis and provide bioinformatics support on DNA motif analysis. The candidate should have expertise in both peak calling of ChIP-seq data as well as RNA-seq analysis for splicing changes.

SUMMARY:Postdoctoral Fellow: ­­­­­­­­­­Cancer Immunotherapy
DESCRIPTION:Cancer immunotherapy represents a paradigm shift in the management of cancer. Recent successes with antibody directed therapies for immune modulators such as CTLA4 and PD1/PDL-1 axis have altered the landscape of systemic therapy for solid and hematologic malignancies. Among various strategies to improve cancer immunotherapy\, epigenetic targets have emerged as prominent actionable targets to enhance anti-tumor immune responses and suppressing tolerogenic tumor microenvironment. Our laboratory is focused on mechanisms by which various epigenetic molecules impact the immune system to identify novel approaches to cancer immunotherapy. \n  \nAlternative approaches to enhancing cancer immunotherapy are to modulate immunologic consequences to existing cytotoxic therapy\, such as radiation therapy. More recently\, the concept of immunogenic cell death induced by XRT has been proposed. Immunogenic cell death is associated with release of HMG-B1 and ATP as DAMPs (damage-associated molecular pattern)\, which provides the “Danger Signal” required for effective adaptive immune responses. Surface translocation of calreticulin promotes antigen presentation by facilitating phagocytic uptake by dendritic cells (DC). We are therefore currently investigating how to promote tumor specific immune responses by radiation therapy. \n  \nPosition Highlights: \n\nInvolved mentorship by Dr. Kim\n\n\nGain knowledge base in cancer immunotherapy\, immune activation and tolerance mechanisms\, molecular immunology\nDevelop expertise in epigenetic regulation of the immune system\nTrain in in vivo and in vitro methodologies in immunologic research\n\n  \nThe Ideal Candidate: \n\nScientifically inquisitive and enthusiastic to learn new approaches\nCollaborate well with other researchers\nBackgrounds in immunologic research\nFamiliar with flow cytometry and molecular work\n\n  \nResponsibilities: \n\nRead and discuss relevant literature\nDesign and conduct experiments\nPresent at the lab meetings and scientific conferences\nResearch methodologies will mostly include flow cytometry\, confocal microscopy\, proximity ligation assay\, Western blot and other molecular work\, ex vivo and in vivo mouse studies.\n\n  \nCredentials and Qualifications: \n\nPh.D. or M.D. in Immunology\, Molecular Biology\, Cell Biology\, or Cancer Biology.\n\n  \nA competitive salary and benefits package will be offered to the successful candidate. Interested applicants should send a single PDF file that includes a current CV with recent publications\, a personal statement of scientific interests and goals (2-page maximum) and contact information for three references to Dr. Sungjune Kim at Sungjune.kim@moffitt.org.

SUMMARY:Postdoctoral Fellow
DESCRIPTION:A Postdoctoral Fellow position is available in Dr. Chuong Dinh Hoang’s laboratory within the Thoracic and Gastrointestinal Oncology Branch (TGIB)\, National Cancer Institute\, NIH. \nOur broad goal is to explore the molecular and cellular biology of thoracic cancers\, namely mesothelioma and/ or non-small cell lung carcinoma\, thymoma\, etc. Currently\, we have projects that involve investigating microRNA-mRNA interactions in malignant mesothelioma. New projects will focus on the pathogenic signaling pathways relevant to tumor initiation\, invasion\, metastasis\, and resistance. With these projects\, we have translational aims of developing novel molecular biomarkers and therapeutic targets based on an understanding of the pathogenetic mechanisms active in these cancers. Also\, we are developing novel delivery platforms for nucleic-based agents that require pre-clinical testing in mouse tumor models. The culmination of these projects will be linked to clinical human protocols in these thoracic cancers of interest. \nThis is a great opportunity for candidates who are interested in cancer biology and want to enhance their career potential by working in our research program with outstanding support of other established laboratories and core facilities in the National Cancer Institute. This laboratory effort will be in close collaboration with other faculty in our branch. We work closely with the Thoracic Oncology Section of David S. Schrump\, M.D. (Chief\, TGIB)\, which focuses on epigenetic mechanisms and regulation of thoracic tumors; and with the lab of Dr. Taylor Ripley\, M.D.\, which focuses on metabolism of thoracic tumors. \n\n\n\n \n \n\nExperience Required: \n\n\nQualified candidates should have a Ph.D. in a biological science area or the equivalent background (M.D.\, M.B.B.S.\, etc.) with one to five years of postdoctoral experience. A background and working knowledge in molecular and cellular biology is required. Familiarity with basic techniques including DNA/ RNA isolation\, cell culture techniques Western-blot\, quantitative PCR\, immunohistochemistry\, ChIP\, retroviral or lentiviral transfections\, FACS sorting\, and working with mice are a must. Knowledge and/or experience in bioinformatics\, biostatistics\, mutation detection\, microarray analysis\, RNA-seq and other sequencing methodology\, and microRNA is preferred. Previous research experience in cancer or stem cell biology is advantageous\, but not required. \n\n\n\n\nHow To Apply: \n\n\nApplicants should send their CV\, cover letter and letters of recommendation directly to Joanna Lamot at joanna.lamot@nih.gov
