NIDDK Postdoctoral Position - Gene Regulation and Development
NIDDK/NIH
A postdoctoral fellowship will be available in the laboratory of Dr. Ann Dean from the Laboratory of Cellular and Developmental Biology, NIDDK, NIH.
How complex organisms with diverse tissue and cell types can arise from the same genome is one of the most enduring and fascinating questions in biology. We study enhancers, which are cis-acting DNA sequences that increase the transcriptional output of genes and, in so doing, orchestrate the cell specific transcriptomes that underlie development and differentiation. We are interested in the mechanisms that underlie formation of long range interactions between distant enhancers and target genes, how they influence and are influenced by overall chromosome folding and how enhancers change gene expression programs. Our studies focus on the family of β-globin genes, and erythroid genes more broadly, as a model system.
We are defining a complex of proteins including Ldb1/Lmo2/Tal1/Gata1 that mediates long range enhancer activation of essentially all erythroid genes. We are investigating the proteins the Ldb1 complex partners with to function in chromatin looping. We are also interested in the functional impact on gene expression of overall chromosome folding in the nucleus, which is thought to depend on architectural factors such as CTCF and cohesin.
To study long range enhancer-gene interactions, epigenetic histone modification and transcription regulation in mammalian cells, we use biochemistry, molecular biology, genetics and genomics. We deploy ChIP, ChIP-seq, RNA-seq and Chromosome Conformation Capture (3C)-related approaches and bioinformatic analysis, as well as RNA and DNA fluorescent in situ hybridization. Our experimental systems include (1) human and mouse erythroid cell lines, primary cells and mouse ES cells, (2) human β-globin YAC transgenic mice, and (3) mice with alterations in endogenous loci that we have targeted through homologous recombination or CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing.

NIDDK Postdoctoral Position - Genetics & Biochemistry
NIDDK/NIH
In meiosis, the repair of programmed DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) by homologous recombination facilitates crossover formation and the subsequent segregation of homologous chromosomes in the first meiotic division. The overall goal of the research program in our lab is to discover the determinants that govern the placement of both the double-strand breaks that initiate meiotic recombination and the subsequent meiotic crossovers in mice and humans. The repair of DSBs can be error-prone and an important challenge is to understand the mechanisms of this mutagenic recombination and understand how cells avoid these errors. We use a combination of computational biology, genomics, biochemistry, and cell biology to achieve these goals

Postdoctoral Research Fellow- Medical Oncology- Lab of Dr. Claudia Capparelli
Thomas Jefferson University
We are seeking a Postdoctoral Fellow to join our research program to investigate the mechanisms underlying tumor heterogeneity and plasticity in melanoma with the goal of identifying novel treatment strategies for melanoma patients. Our research aims to identify and target pathway dependencies and vulnerabilities in drug tolerant persister cells in order to prevent metastasis and improve treatment options for melanoma patients. Additional research interests include: i) characterizing alterations that occur in the Extra Cellular Matrix during the establishment of drug tolerance and ii) investigate therapies that mediate changes within the tumor immune microenvironment as an approach to improve response to immunotherapies. Understanding alterations in the tumor microenvironment could ultimately lead to the identification of novel therapeutic approaches for the treatment of melanoma. Our research ranges from fundamental molecular mechanisms to clinical applications utilizing molecular and cellular biology, 3D cell culture, flow cytometry, omics studies, and mouse models.
