| Research Themes: | Common defining characteristics of human cancer cells are their insensitivity to anti-proliferative signals and their acquisition of immortality. Research in my lab utilizes in vitro models of human mammary epithelial cell (HMEC) transformation, whereby known genetic events involved in HMEC transformation are replaced by "random" genetic events. This approach has provided us with new and exciting candidates involved in breast cancer development. An appropriate applicant will be highly motivated, have a track record of research accomplishments, including peer-reviewed publications and meeting presentations, and have a strong background in cancer cell biology or signal transduction. |
| Required Skills: | Candidate will be proficient in techniques such as: tissue culture; inoculating mice with transformed cells, virus production and infection of cells; analysis of protein, RNA and DNA using a variety of techniques (Western, Northern, Southern blotting, PCR, immunofluorescent microscopy, flow cytometry). Excellent communication and organization skills required. |

| Lab of: | Barbara Bedogni, PhD |
|---|---|
| Department: | Biochemistry |
| Postdocs Needed: | 1 |
| Research Themes: |
This position is to study the Notch signal transduction pathway in melanoma. These studies will benefit from a vast array of melanoma cell lines and both melanoma orthotopic and transgenic mouse models for studies in vivo. Self-motivated candidates with experience in signal transduction, molecular biology, biochemistry and animal model skills are desirable. Qualified candidates will have a solid track record of research and academic achievement including publications in internationally recognized, peer-reviewed journals and excellent written/oral communication skills. A PhD or MD degree or equivalent is required. |
| Required Specialties & Skills: | Strong background in cellular and molecular biology: cell/tissue culture, cloning, DNA, RNA isolation, PCR, RT-PCR and basic computational biology skills. |
| Preferred Specialties & Skills: | Mammalian cell transfection, mouse husbandry, shRNA, retroviral and lentiviral production. |

| Department: | Nursing |
| Postdocs Needed: | 2 |
| Research Themes: |
Vulnerable Populations with Multiple Morbidities These 2-year training programs prepare nurse scientists who are equipped to study the complex systems comprising and influencing the health of vulnerable populations with multiple morbidities. This innovative training program is based on complexity theory and emphasizes mixed methods and team approaches to conducting inquiry. With the guidance of a strong research mentorship program, fellows learn design and analytic approaches that stem from theoretical frameworks that reflect the complexity of humans and health. Our goal is to prepare a cadre of nurse scientists who are committed to the elimination of health disparities through the development of knowledge about the complex systems comprising and influencing the health of vulnerable populations. Candidates for the training programs can be enrolled in our fast-track BSN to PhD program, our traditional and summer PhD programs, and in postdoctoral training. |
