This mentored position will empower the candidate to analyze complex
conditional genetic mouse models of pediatric cancers for the purpose of
developing novel molecular therapies. The primary goal for this fellowship is
to understand the role of growth factors & kinases in the progression of
the childhood muscle cancer, rhabdomyosarcoma. Employing molecular biology,
biochemistry and multiscale imaging (whole animal to confocal microscopy), the
candidate will have the opportunity to identify critical factors in tumor
maintenance and tumor progression from which new therapies can be
developed. Rapid translation to the
clinic is the underlying goal.
Candidates with experience in developmental biology or muscle biology
are especially encouraged to apply. Applicants will be able to find the position by entering IRC39103 into the search field on www.ohsujobs.com. For question, you can contact Charles via email, keller (at) ohsu.edu.
