Washington University School of Medicine

Our lab is focused on improving the lives of patients with gynecologic cancers and other cancer types through basic and translational research. Our work involves basic protein and cell biology up to in vivo models and human specimens and trials. We have a particular expertise in radiation biology and gynecologic cancer models.

This position is to serve as the scientific lead of a project with recent NIH grant funding to determine the role of the lysosome in response and resistance to ionizing radiation. Applicants with a strong background in molecular and cell biology, protein biochemistry and/or redox chemistry will be prioritized. Experience in radiation oncology/biology is not necessary and will be a component of training provided. The applicant will be an integral member of the lab who participates in training of other lab members including graduate students and undergraduates.

Seeking passionate and driven individuals who are self-motivated and willing to work hard to obtain our common goal.
