SUMMARY:FASEB: Dynamic DNA Structures in Biology
DESCRIPTION:For decades after its discovery\, genomic DNA was believed to exist only as a right-handed\, double helix known as B-DNA.  Its sole functions were to serve as a template for RNA synthesis or as a template for the production of identical duplexes during chromosome replication.  These core beliefs were shaken by the discovery that DNA is covalently modified and packaged into chromatin\, and that the molecule can form an enormous variety of non-B alternative structures\, including cruciforms\, a left-handed helix\, three- and four-stranded helices\, and slip-strand configurations.  Transient denaturation of the duplex during all major DNA transactions (replication\, transcription\, repair and recombination) requires chromatin modifications and promotes dynamic transitions to non-B DNA structures.  Furthermore\, repetitive DNA sequences\, which are highly over-represented in genomic DNA\, are particularly prone to structural transitions.  Studies conducted in many labs worldwide have confirmed that structural transitions are not only central to normal functions of the genome\, but also are responsible for occasional malfunctioning that leads to a disease state.  The most striking example is expansion of structure-prone DNA repeats\, which is responsible for more than thirty hereditary neurological and developmental diseases. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis SRC is the fourth meeting on Dynamic DNA Structures in Biology\, a highly interactive meeting that brings together a diverse\, international community of researchers who maintain a “DNA-centric” view of basic biological processes.  Attendees will include those interested in disease-causing repeat expansions\, chromatin dynamics\, chromosome fragility related to transcription and replication\, and the biological roles of unusual\, non-B DNA structures.  Morning and evening scientific sessions will feature established and new investigators\, and ample time for discussion will be incorporated into the program.  In addition\, short talks chosen from submitted abstracts will be included in session\, with preference given to trainees.  Afternoon poster sessions will further foster the exchange of ideas and facilitate the establishment of new collaborations.  It is anticipated that funds will be available to support the attendance of young investigators and trainees.

SUMMARY:Post-Doctoral Research Fellow\, Cancer Genetics\Epigenetics
DESCRIPTION:Cures Start Here. At Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center\, home to three Nobel laureates\, interdisciplinary teams of world-renowned scientists seek new and innovative ways to prevent\, diagnose and treat cancer\, HIV/AIDS and other life-threatening diseases. Fred Hutch’s pioneering work in bone marrow transplantation led to the development of immunotherapy\, which harnesses the power of the immune system to treat cancer. An independent\, nonprofit research institute based in Seattle\, Fred Hutch houses the nation’s first and largest cancer prevention research program\, as well as the clinical coordinating center of the Women’s Health Initiative and the international headquarters of the HIV Vaccine Trials Network. Careers Start Here.  \nResponsibilities \nA postdoctoral position is available in the MacPherson Lab at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. The project will focus on small cell lung cancer (SCLC)\, a neuroendocrine tumor type that exhibits initial sensitivity to chemotherapy but invariable emergence of chemoresistance. Our lab is interested in linking specific gene mutations in SCLC to therapeutic vulnerabilities. We have developed a panel of new mouse models that can be used in this effort. With our clinical collaborators\, we are also generating patient derived xenograft models of SCLC. The project will be focused on chromatin regulators in SCLC and is particularly well suited to individuals with experience or interest in epigenetics/chromatin biology and cancer. In addition to in vivo studies\, the project will employ cell based screening to link specific SCLC-mutated genes to genetic vulnerabilities. The project will have a therapeutic component\, testing the efficacy and molecular mechanisms underlying new potential targeted therapy for SCLC. \nThe candidate will lead efforts to link SCLC gene mutations to therapeutic vulnerabilities\, combining in vivo studies with cell based screening and molecular analyses. The candidate should be able to drive an individual project but also be highly collaborative. \nQualifications \nWe are looking for a highly motivated individual with a PhD or MD and interests in cancer genetics\, mouse models\, epigenetics and therapeutics. A strong foundation in molecular and cell biology is essential. The candidate should be independent\, enthusiastic and scientifically rigorous.
