We are looking for a highly motivated individual to participate in or lead research projects using omics and advanced imaging to study urogenital development, kidney diseases, and cancer at Washington University School of Medicine, in St. Louis, Missouri, USA.
We are an interdisciplinary team combining experimental biology and computational analyses to advance precision medicine. We attack important and challenging problems by integrating data from human specimens, cell lines, organoids, patient-derived xenograft models, and murine genetic models into a comprehensive experimental and analytical framework. Our lab collaborates extensively with other Washington University basic/translational scientists and computational biologists. We are also heavily involved in multiple large-scale NIH consortia, including GUDMAP, SenNet, HTAN, PDXNet, and CPTAC, where we use multi-omics (including single cell and spatial omics) and advanced imaging technologies (including CODEX and 3D imaging) to study disease etiology and treatment, as well as building reference databases and atlases for the research community. The research environment is highly collaborative, intellectually stimulating, and enjoyable.
The successful candidate is expected to have a doctoral degree in a relevant field, including, but not limited to, Genetics, Cell Biology, Developmental Biology, Molecular Biology, and Cancer Biology. Experience with urogenital research, transgenic mice, omics, and imaging is preferred but not required. Our lab provides a great platform for the successful candidate to further develop skills in both standard experimental approaches and in emerging technologies.
