Overview
A postdoctoral research fellow position is available in the
laboratory of Dr. Srinivas Viswanathan at Dana-Farber Cancer
Institute (with affiliation to the Broad Institute). We use genomic
and cutting-edge genome-scale functional genetic technologies to
uncover drivers of genitourinary malignancies, with a specific
focus on prostate and kidney cancers (). The ideal candidate should
be exceptionally motivated, creative, highly collegial, and excited
about scientific discovery and the prospect of translating basic
insights into novel therapeutic strategies for patients with
cancer.Located in Boston and the surrounding communities,
Dana-Farber Cancer Institute brings together world renowned
clinicians, innovative researchers and dedicated professionals,
allies in the common mission of conquering cancer, HIV/AIDS and
related diseases. Combining extremely talented people with the best
technologies in a genuinely positive environment, we provide
compassionate and comprehensive care to patients of all ages; we
conduct research that advances treatment; we educate tomorrow's
physician/researchers; we reach out to underserved members of our
community; and we work with amazing partners, including other
Harvard Medical School-affiliated hospitals.
Responsibilities
Several projects are available, all related to understanding the
molecular mechanisms that drive these cancers. Projects may involve
both wet-laboratory and dry-laboratory (computational) aspects to
varying degrees. There is a particular interest in understanding
the role of alternative splicing and/or RNA binding proteins in
disease pathogenesis. The overarching aim of projects in the lab is
to develop mechanistic insights that can be translated into
improved outcomes for patients with genitourinary cancers.
