DESCRIPTION:The Hernandez lab is seeking a postdoctoral fellow to join the research program focused on interrogating the molecular underpinnings of metastatic colonization in order to interrupt the process prior to its completion. This line of investigation corresponds with a critical need in biomedical research\, as metastases are the cause of greater than 90% of cancer related deaths. For patients undergoing resection\, identifying and targeting the mechanisms that support the survival and outgrowth of latent\, disseminated tumor cells holds great promise for the prevention of tumor recurrence.  \nThe lab has utilized complex cDNA and CRISPR-Cas9 screens to identify genes that conspire to drive the outgrowth of disseminated tumor cells\, which ostensibly appear to be involved in epigenetic reprogramming\, compensatory metabolism\, and extracellular matrix deposition and remodeling. Current efforts are focused on elucidation of mechanisms and signal transduction pathway involvement for the identified genes of interest\, to unveil clinically translatable targets. The lab utilizes multi-photon intravital microscopy to mechanistically interrogate and visualize the dynamics of metastatic outgrowth\, including the roles of supporting stromal and immune cells. Moreover\, the lab has begun pioneering first-ever human tissue models by repurposing perfusion systems to sustain resected tumor-bearing liver and peritoneum for prolonged ex vivo animation.  \nWe envision these models will enable us to  \n1) perform additional screens and validation experiments in human tissue for the first time\,  \n2) personalize investigation of the metastatic cascade by leveraging multi-photon imaging with an individual patient’s tumor cells\, which will be dissociated\, labelled\, and subsequently injected into the perfusate to seed that patient’s metastatic target tissue\, and  \n3) utilized tumor-bearing tissue as a platform for drug discovery and evaluation of novel drug-delivery combinations and platforms\, which we think has the potential to transcend multiple disciplines in translational medicine to permit investigations and manipulations not previously possible.

SUMMARY:Bioinformatics position
DESCRIPTION:The Ntziachristos laboratory studies the mechanistic aspects of oncogenesis with an emphasis on transcriptional and epigenetic regulation of acute leukemia. We study how oncogenes interact with each other and with epigenetic modulators to influence gene expression programs as well as how their function is related to tri-dimensional (3D) structure of the nucleus and other biological aspects of cancer cells\, like metabolism. Recent studies by our group focus on how active deubiquitination controls aspects of oncogenesis and leads to drug resistance in leukemia. To address these questions we use high-throughput molecular and cell biology techniques like RNA-Seq\, ChIP-Seq\, 4C-Seq and HiC\, fluorescent in situ hybridization\, biochemical analysis e.t.c.\, in cell lines and primary cells of human origin and tissues of mouse models of disease. In addition to understanding cancer biology these finding help us design and test targeted therapies in preclinical models of leukemia. \nHighly-motivated and collaborative scientists\, that hold a Bachelor\, Master’s or Ph.D. degree\, and with a strong track record and expertize in Bioinformatics\, with a focus on RNA biology and the analysis of splicing phenomena\, computational systems biology or related fields are encouraged to apply. The candidates should have knowledge of gene expression biology and of high-throughput methodologies such as RNA-Seq\, ChIP-Seq\, HiC\, and 4C-Seq. Successful candidates will be part of a multidisciplinary team and will be part of projects sought out to understand oncogenic function in leukemia. \nThe group is a member of the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics situated in the campus of Feinberg School of Medicine in Northwestern University in the heart of the Chicago metropolitan area. The team has access to cutting-edge technology and facilities and is exposed to the vibrant scientific community of Northwestern University and other research centers in the Chicago area. Scientists in the group have the opportunity to present their work and get feedback in Institutional\, National and International forums. \nThe appointment offers competitive salary and generous benefits and the position can be initiated effective immediately. Applicants should submit a cover letter\, their curriculum vitae and contact details for at least two referees. \nRelated links: \nhttps://www.ntziachristoslab.com/research.html \nhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=ntziachristos+p \nhttp://www.feinberg.northwestern.edu/sites/biochem/ \nhttps://www.cityofchicago.org/city/en.html \nJob Type: Full-time \nEducation: \n\nBachelor’s (Required)
