PROGRAM DESCRIPTION        

The Cancer Research Technology Program (CRTP) develops and implements emerging technology, cancer biology expertise and research capabilities to accomplish NCI research objectives. The CRTP is an outward-facing, multi-disciplinary hub purposed to enable the external cancer research community. A major focus of the CRTP is the NCI RAS Initiative with the goal to discover new therapeutic interventions against RAS-driven cancers. In addition, the CRTP hosts the Nanotechnology Characterization Laboratory (NCL) which performs and standardizes preclinical efficacy and toxicity testing of nanoparticles intended for cancer therapeutics and diagnostics, and the Antibody Characterization Lab (ACL) which characterizes monoclonal antibodies or other renewable affinity binding reagents for use in cancer related research. CRTP scientists also work collaboratively with intramural NCI investigators to provide research technologies and expertise.

KEY ROLES/RESPONSIBILITIES

Conduct a range of independent and collaborative NCI RAS Initiative projects encompassing bottom-up, top-down, native, and quantitative proteomic applications Perform novel proteomic method development for the analysis of unique and challenging targets Support assay development for protein and PTM quantitation by peptide or proteoform reaction monitoring (PRM, PfRM) Assist with the daily operation and routine maintenance of three Orbitrap-based LC-MS platforms (currently an Exactive Plus EMR, an Orbitrap Fusion Lumos, and an Orbitrap Exploris 480) Attend project meetings, provide updates to collaborators, contribute substantially to publications, and present research findings at conferences or symposia

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
