Job description
Children’s Research Institute (CRI) mission addresses fundamental scientific questions related to the biological basis of disease. Through transformative biomedical research, CRI faculty seek breakthroughs that change scientific fields and yield new strategies for treating disease. CRI a highly collaborative environment working on basic and translational biology at the interface of stem cells, cancer, and metabolism.
The McBreyer laboratory studies and identifies the metabolic mechanisms that push cells to become cancerous and find new ways to inhibit them. To identify these mechanisms, we study the biology of brain tumors driven by mutations in genes that regulate metabolism. Studying these mutations will help us discover fundamental connections between metabolism and other aspects of cell biology that are likely to control cancer formation in many different tissues. These insights hold great promise for the development of new therapies for patients with brain tumors and, by extension, for those with other types of cancer.
