The Walhout lab aims to understand how biological networks are organized, how their organization enables function, and how these networks evolve. The main focus is on the gene regulatory networks that control proper gene expression, and on metabolic networks that provide building blocks and energy to support organism development, growth, wound healing, homeostasis, and response to nutritional, environmental and therapeutic inputs.
A successful candidate would hold a BS in a biological science (cell biology, genetics, biochemistry, molecular biology, etc.). Preferable skills include experience in C. elegans culture, microbiology, and molecular biology techniques.
