PostDoc Research, Chromatin, Metabolism (m/f/d)

We are seeking an interactive and self-motivated postdoctoral researcher to join a team of cell and molecular biologists working on brain cancer mechanisms led by Prof Paolo Salomoni. Expertise in cancer research, ideally in the area of brain cancer, cell / molecular biology, animal models as well as publication in peer-reviewed journals / international conference proceedings is required. A PhD (postdoctoral experience not essential) in areas highlighted above is essential.

This work will be conducted by whose research interest is nuclear function in regulation of cell fate in normal brain and CNS disease. In particular, this project aims at studying mechanisms underlying brain cancer pathogenesis to drive anti-cancer drug development as part of DLR-funded large consortium (CANTAR). Specifically, we are interested in exploring how altered chromatin remodeling and metabolism contribute to brain tumorigenesis at the interface between tumor cells and the tumor microenvironment. We hope to reveal new tumor vulnerabilities that could be exploited therapeutically. Our work is based on state-of-the-art preclinical models developed in-house, patient-derived material, and sophisticated platforms for epigenomic and metabolic profiling locally and across the CANTAR partners.
