The Position We are seeking a Senior Scientific Researcher in the Department of Molecular Biology to assist with the development of an advanced cell-based molecular genetics platform. She/he will utilize and create diverse nucleic-acid-based technologies for targeted manipulation of primary and immortalized cells, with the ultimate goal of improving upon in vitro disease models and [...]
Postdoctoral associate positions available for highly motivated candidates with a fresh PHD training in molecular & cell biology, cancer biology and/or biochemistry to join the Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center, the Department of Biochemistry & Biophysics, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) School of Medicine, USA. Those with a strong publication track record are [...]
The laboratory of Dr. Ernst Schonbrunn at Moffitt Cancer Center is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to work on inter-disciplinary projects towards the structural biology of proteins as drug targets. The position provides exciting opportunities for structural, biochemical and cell-based studies of various drug-target interactions and the rational design of new inhibitors with potential as therapeutics. [...]
A postdoctoral position is available in the lab of David MacPherson. The position will be funded by a newly awarded R01, with a focus on the role of key chromatin regulators in driving small cell lung cancer (SCLC), an aggressive neuroendocrine tumor type. Cell based screens, genetic mouse models and study of patient derived tumors [...]
Job Description The Hackett Group is looking for a highly talented postdoctoral researcher to lead an exciting project on epigenetic inheritance in mammalian models. Research in the group is focused on understanding epigenetic mechanisms of genome regulation and transgenerational epigenetic inheritance. Other streams of research cover (epi)genomics analyses of embryonic stem cells and the germline [...]
We recently reported that frequent low-dose intake of aspirin reduces the risk of developing colorectal and bile duct cancers (read it here). Now a new study from Norway shows that taking aspirin after cancer diagnosis improves survival of people diagnosed with colorectal cancer. In a collaboration between the Cancer Registry of Norway, the Norwegian Institute [...]
We proudly announce that CES has now its own YouTube channel! We have released our first video which gives a quick overview of the history of DNA chemical changes that accompany many different cellular processes, including those involved in cancer. These changes, the most common of which being DNA methylation, represents one of the most [...]
Previous research had unsurprisingly linked high levels of fine particulate matter in breathing air (also known as PM2.5) to lung cancer. A new study links PM2.5 in breathing air to increased risk of several cancers including liver, pancreatic, and breast cancer. For example, women had an 80% increase risk of breast cancer for every 10 [...]
Exposure to high levels of arsenic was already known to increase the risk of bladder cancer. A new study from the National Cancer Institute (NIH/NCI, Bethesda, USA) of well drinking water in Maine, Vermont, and New Hampshire, found that low doses of arsenic in drinking water, presumably from contaminating pesticides, also dramatically increase risk of [...]
An Associate Scientist position is available in the Pathology Biomarker Development laboratory in the Department of Pathology. This lab studies molecular biomarkers of diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic significance for diseases affecting St. Jude patients. We evaluate the feasibility and clinical utility of novel assays in order to determine whether they may be integrated into clinical [...]
