Experimental Postdoctoral Fellows in Cancer Biology/Immunology
4 months ago
Experimental postdoctoral fellows in cancer biology/immunology of solid tumors, neural stem cells and cancer stem cells of brain tumors at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.
The Laboratory:
Professor Yiwen Chen's lab uses cutting-edge computational and experimental approaches to tackle research problems in cancer biology/immunology and neural development at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, ranked number one in cancer by U.S. News & World Report's Best Hospitals survey. His lab focuses on deciphering the cell signaling, epigenetic/epitranscriptomic and RNA-based regulation mechanism of cancer biology/immunology in solid tumors, neural stem cells and cancer stem cells of brain tumor. The Chen lab has great expertise in combining computational with high-throughput approaches such as single-cell multi-omics profiling (e.g., scRNA-seq and Perturb-seq), CRISPR/Cas9, mass spectrometry, ChIP-seq, RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP)-seq, eCLIP-seq (enhanced CrossLinking and ImmunoPrecipitation followed by high-throughput sequencing) and Ribosome Profiling (Ribo-seq), to decipher cryptic translation of the non-canonical open reading frames (ORFs) and/or noncoding RNA (ncRNA)/RNA-binding protein (RBP)-mediated regulatory circuitries.
The former postdoctoral trainees from the Chen lab have excelled in both academia and industry, including 4 past/current postdoctoral trainees from Chen lab who are/will become a faculty in U.S. or China.
Chen lab representative publications include:
Nature Structural & Molecular Biology (2023, PMC , Science (2023, PMID: , Science Advances (2023, PMC , The Journal of Clinical Investigation (2023, PMC , Journal of Experimental Medicine (2021, PMC , Genome Biology (2021, PMC , The Journal for ImmunoTherapy of Cancer (2021, PMC , Nature Methods (2018, PMC , Nature Genetics (2017, PMID: , Nature Communications (2017, PMC , and Trends in Genetics (2016, PMC
Job specifications:
The experimental postdocs will leverage the high-throughput assays developed/established in the lab to study the cell signaling, epigenetic/epitranscriptomic and RNA-based regulation that is important for tumor immunity in solid tumors, neural stem cells and cancer stem cells of brain tumors, as well as to develop T cell-based and/or combinatorial cancer immune therapies. The postdocs will be under joint supervision by Dr. Yiwen Chen and Dr. Jian Hu from Department of Cancer Biology at MD Anderson Cancer Center/Dr. Weiyi Peng from University of Houston.
Qualifications:
Applicants should have a Ph.D. degree (or equivalent) in biomedical sciences. Strong background in one or more of the following areas: molecular biology; protein/RNA biochemistry; transcriptional/epigenetic regulation; cell signaling; virology; immunology; T-cell biology; cancer biology. Mouse model experience and bioinformatics/genomics/proteomics expertise are not required, but highly desirable.
All applicants should have good spoken and written communication skills. Interested applicants should send 1) a cover letter briefly describing your previous experience and your future research interest/plan, 2) a curriculum vitae, and 3) contact information of at least three references to Dr. Yiwen Chen ).
