Postdoctoral Fellow

At Houston Methodist, the Postdoctoral Fellow position is responsible for performing basic research duties under the supervision/direction of a Physician and/or Principal Investigator (PI). This position may work in a laboratory setting or may consist of computer work that supports the department's research mission.
Preferred Candidates: Experience in neural cell culture, electrophysiology, neural or cancer stem cell culture and phenotyping, CNS mouse models of neural disease or cancer, optogenetics and/or fluorescent readouts and high throughput drug screens is essential.
The Rostomily Lab at Houston Methodist Research Institute is seeking a postdoctoral fellow with an interest in pursuing a novel aspect of the emerging field of “Cancer Neuroscience”. The NINDS and NCI funded studies leverage glioblastoma (GBM) stem cell (GSC) electrophysiology as a therapeutic target. In collaboration with investigators at HMRI (Phil Horner), Baylor College of Medicine (Francois St. Pierre and Ben Arenkiel) and TAMU IBT (Cliff Stephan), we seek to determine how modulation of resting GSC voltage membrane potential (Vmem) effects malignant properties of GSCs including proliferation, differentiation, and response to standard therapies like TMZ. One project utilizes patterned optogenetic modulation of Vmem in GSCs in vitro and in vivo while a second project seeks to develop a multiplexed platform for high-throughput drug screening using genetically encoded voltage indicators (GEVIs) and live cell fluorescent reporters of cell cycle (FUCCI) and G0-G1 transition (p27). The unifying principle behind these projects is that GSC hyperpolarization can reprogram GSCs to a less malignant non-stem cell phenotype with increased treatment responsiveness. The studies employ multiple techniques including whole cell patch clamp, high-throughput patch clamp, voltage, and cell cycle reporter imaging, GSC phenotyping, xenograft glioma models, in vitro and in vivo optogenetic manipulation of GSCs, and high throughput ion channel drug screening. Positions are open for both projects immediately. The positions are supported from the following grants:
“Patterned optogenetic neuromodulation to reprogram glioma stem cells”. 1R21NS127229
“A multiplexed high-throughput platform to report pharmacologic alteration of cancer stem cell membrane potential and cell cycle state”. 1R61CA278458
