The White lab at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (https://www.mskcc.org/research-areas/labs/richard-white) is seeking a postdoctoral fellow. Our laboratory utilizes the zebrafish to study cancer metastasis. The zebrafish is an ideal system for this because of its strengths in high-resolution in vivo imaging combined with its capacity for unbiased genetic and small molecule screens. We wish to identify new mechanisms by which cancer cells successfully colonize secondary organs. The current project focuses on understanding how heterogeneity within the cancer cell population (genetic, epigenetic, developmental) interfaces with the tumor microenvironment (TME). We use state of the art in vivo imaging, CRISPR screening and small molecules to interrogate this. The applicant should have a background in any related field, including cancer, developmental biology, cell biology, imaging or screens. Interested candidates should send a CV, a letter explaining their interest, and any relevant publications to whitelabmskcc@gmail.com |
