Postdoctoral Fellows (BCM-Department of Pathology)

Posted - May 28, 2008

Seeking postdoctoral fellows with strong research skills to join our lab. Individuals with a Ph.D. and experience in molecular or RNA biology are encouraged to apply. The research goals of the lab are to harness the power of RNA to create new therapeutic instruments for biomedical studies. Our current research areas include:

1. Development of RNA-based molecular switches that can be turned on or off by small molecules for gene regulation.
2. RNA-based cellular biosensors for detecting specific intracellular molecules in disease.

3. The identification of cancer-specific splice isoforms as biomarkers for cancer diagnosis and therapy.

We are particularly interested in applying these technologies and knowledge in the fields of cancer, stem cell, and diabetes. Our lab interacts regularly with several others in the Texas Medical Center including monthly joint lab meetings and a biweekly RNA journal club.
