This FASEB SRC is designed to highlight the major advances in science and integrate different topics, which are part of an extremely fast-moving and exciting field of research. The biological scope and the mechanisms of action of DNA and RNA molecules, which have roles in dosage compensation, imprinting, enhancer function and transcriptional regulation, have a [...]
 A post-doctoral position is available in the laboratory of Alexey Terskikh, Development, Aging, and Regeneration Program, Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute, La Jolla, California. The position focuses on the novel approaches to study epigenetics at a single cell level. A candidate will explore the capability of Microscopic Imaging of Epigenetic Landscape (MIEL) and [...]
Applications are invited from ambitious, independent and motivated candidates to work with Professor Peter D. Adams to investigate the epigenetics of aging and cancer at Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute, San Diego. Specific projects in the lab range from development of novel epigenetic therapies to combat cancer (for example, epigenetic therapies to synergize with [...]
Unexpected findings in early-stage breast cancer initiation thanks to epigenetic editing. Research conducted at the Queen Mary University of London by Cancer Epigenetics Society Member, Dr. Gabriella Ficz and her collaborators, shows that an epigenetic alteration of just one gene is sufficient to drive normal breast cells to pre-neoplastic stages, a discovery that may [...]

A postdoctoral research fellow position is available in the Bedalov Laboratory in the Clinical Research Division. The Bedalov laboratory studies mechanisms by which chromatin modifications shape nuclear events including DNA replication and transcriptional silencing and their consequences on carcinogenesis, aging and development.  Responsibilities The post-doctoral research fellow will study molecular mechanisms that maintain the silent state [...]
The Buck Institute is the only independent institute in the U.S. devoted solely to research on aging and age-related diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, cancer, arthritis, diabetes, and stroke. Our mission is to increase the healthspan, the healthy years of life. Awarded a federal grant to establish interdisciplinary research in a new field called Geroscience, [...]
