Lab of: David Danielpour, PhD
Department: General Medical Sciences- Oncology
Postdocs Needed: 1
Research Themes: A unique and exciting postdoctoral research opportunity is available in Dr. David Danielpour's laboratory at the Case Comprehensive Cancer Center to study the control of TGF-β and BMP signaling in prostate epithelial and stromal cells. Ongoing studies in this laboratory include basic mechanisms tumor suppression and apoptosis, cross-talk of TGF-β and BMP with the androgen receptor (AR), IGF-I, PKB/Akt, mTOR and Hic-5, using in vitro and in vivo models. New initiatives involve medicinal chemistry, drug discovery and clinical trials.
Required Skills: The candidate must be highly motivated, have a strong track-record of research productivity, publications in peer-reviewed journals, strong research background in molecular and cell biology and excellent communication and organization skills. Experience with animal models is preferred.
