Postdoctoral Fellow - Translational Biomarkers and Racial Disparities in Breast Cancer

City of Hope

Job Description

Join the forefront of groundbreaking research at the Beckman Research Institute of City of Hope, where we're changing lives and making a real difference in the fight against cancer, diabetes, and other life-threatening illnesses. Our dedicated and compassionate faculty and staff are driven by a common mission: Contribute to innovative approaches in predicting, preventing, and curing diseases, shaping the future of medicine through cutting-edge research.

The Beckman Research Institute of City of Hope is looking for a talented Postdoctoral Fellow to join Dr. Nikita Jinna’s laboratory in the Department of Population Sciences. Her research is centered around identifying novel and actionable biomarkers that may be underlying racial disparities in breast cancer outcomes. She is investigating alternative targetable pathways for the most aggressive breast cancer subtypes such as triple and quadruple negative breast cancers. She is also interested in studying early-stage drivers of the racial disparity in breast carcinogenesis, tumor progression, aging and differentiation for improved risk-prediction and early detection.

As a successful candidate, you will:

Conduct cutting-edge cancer health disparity research via state-of-the-art techniques and model systems such as CRISPR/Cas9, spatial transcriptomics, human mammary epithelial cells (HMECs), confocal microscopy, and fixed human breast tissue models.

Have the opportunity to apply a multidisciplinary approach to addressing racial health disparities including immune-oncology, cancer metabolism, bioinformatics, pathology, proteomics, transcriptomics, epigenomics, molecular imaging, and translational science.

Have the opportunity to pursue T32 grant funding for their postdoctoral research as well as grant funding for future independent laboratory research.

Your qualifications should include:

A Ph.D. degree in life or biomedical sciences, or a related discipline is required.
