Several postdoctoral positions are immediately available in the research laboratory of Dr. Keping Xie at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center to study the molecular mechanisms underlying pancreatic cancer development and progression. The ongoing studies in the laboratories focus on identification and functional validation of molecular determinants of pancreatic cancer. The research is [...]
The Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW) Department of Surgery and the Pancreatic Cancer Program are recruiting a nationally recognized basic scientist for the newly established “Joel and Arlene Lee Endowed Chair in Pancreatic Cancer Research”. This individual should have an established record of research as evidenced by publications and an active research program. This position [...]
A Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center Research Laboratory aims to understand the pathogenesis and pharmacogenomics of pancreatic cancer in order to accelerate its treatment. Using a combination of molecular and genomic data, and human in mouse models, we have identified four core subtypes in pancreatic cancer with important biologic and clinical implications. We are seeking a [...]
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 [...]
