Research Postdoctoral Fellow -- Dr. Fabbri's Lab…

We are seeking a research post-doctoral fellow to join the Fabbri Lab. Research projects will focus on the role of microRNAs and other non-coding RNAs in the tumor microenvironment (TME). We study how non-coding RNAs in extracellular vesicles affect cancer biology and how this knowledge can lead to identify new cancer biomarkers and to develop new anti-cancer therapies. Candidates are expected to be familiar with the following techniques: cell culture, transfections, cloning, DNA and RNA isolation, immunoblotting, PCR, real-time PCR, MTT assays, cytofluorimetry, possibly CRISPR gene editing. Knowledge of statistics for data analysis and interpretation is desirable. In vivo experience with cancer mouse models (xenografts or orthotopic models) is required. Candidates should be able to design and execute laboratory experiments, interpret experimental results, work well in a team environment, contribute to weekly lab meetings, and present data in a clear and concise manner.
