SUMMARY:Postdoctoral Scientist
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Wu’s lab in the Department of Medicine focuses on two epigenetic modulators and members of the AT-rich interaction domain family\, ARID4A and ARID4B. Epigenetics plays an important role in human health and disease. Disruption of epigenetic modifications leads to dysregulation of gene function without altering the DNA sequence per se. A major challenge in understanding the importance of epigenetics in human health and diseases is to identify the specific epigenetic factors and the signaling involved. \nCurrently\, we are investigating the role of ARID4A and ARID4B in development and cancer disease using state-of-the-art conditional knockout mouse models and genomic and proteomic approach. We also study the role of ARID4B in cancer stem cells that have been suggested as the major cause for therapy resistance and the driving force behind cancer metastasis and relapse. To investigate whether and how ARID4B drive cancer development\, we evalute the underlying molecular mechanisms by which ARID4B promotes therapy resistance and aggressive cancer. \nDr. Wu’s lab in the Department of Medicine has an opening for a Postdoctoral Scientist. \nDuties include: \n\nculture and transfection of mammial cells\ncollection of samples for reporter gene assays\nwestern blooting to analyze protein expression\n\n-cancer cell migration and invasion assays -human cancer xenogrant experiments using SCID/NOD mice. \n\nother duties as assigned. The omission of specific duties does not preclude the supervisor from assigning duties that are logically related to the position.\n\n\nThis post-doc scientist is also required to work with genetically modified mice and in a BSL2 laboratory setting. \nMinimum Qualifications: \nQualified candidates will hold a PhD in a related discipline. Degree must be conferred by the start date of the position \nAdditional Required Licenses/Certifications/Posting Specific Minimum Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications: \nPh.D. degree\, with experience in molecular and cellular biology.

SUMMARY:Chromatin and Epigenetics
DESCRIPTION:Conference Overview\nEpigenetics refers to heritable change in gene expression that does not involve changes to the underlying DNA sequence. At least three systems including DNA methylation\, histone modifications and non-coding RNAs (ncRNA) are considered to play fundamental roles in epigenetic regulation. Research over the last two decades has uncovered the role of epigenetics in a variety of human disorders and fatal diseases. Moreover influence of age\, environment\, lifestyle\, and disease state on epigenetic states is being increasingly appreciated and actively studied. \nThis conference provides an international forum for cutting edge research in chromatin and epigenetics. It provides the “focal hub” for people to present their research and exchange ideas in a European venue. Renowned speakers will cover the latest advances in the field\, including chromatin regulation\, chromatin dynamics\, signalling to chromatin\, nuclear architecture and dynamics\, developmental epigenetics\, epigenomics\, epigenetics and human diseases\, genome stability\, environmental epigenetics\, and transgenerational inheritance. \nSession Topics\n\nEpigenetic reprogramming\nDevelopmental epigenetics\nDifferent states of chromatin\nHistone modifications\, RNA and metabolism\nTranscriptional and posttranscriptional regulation\nNuclear architecture\nChromatin and its variants in disease\n\nSpeakers: \nAsifa Akhtar\nMax Planck Institute of Immunobiology and Epigenetics\, Germany \nGeneviève Almouzni\nInstitut Curie\, France \nWendy Bickmore\nThe University of Edinburgh\, UK \nAndrea Brand\nThe Gurdon Institute\, University of Cambridge\, UK \nHoward Y.
