ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Seeking highly motivated candidates to join the Lewis Laboratory in the Department of Molecular, Cell and Cancer Biology at the University of Massachusetts Chan Medical School (https://www.umassmed.edu/mccb/faculty-MCCB/faculty-MCCB/faculty-profile-pages/lewis/). Recent advances in oncology have demonstrated the efficacy of targeted therapeutics that inhibit key tumor-driving proteins or processes. Therefore, a primary goal of our laboratory is to elucidate the molecular mechanisms essential for the development and progression of pancreatic and hepatocellular carcinomas, with the goal of informing novel treatment strategies for these malignancies. We perform a combination of in vivo studies utilizing genetically engineered mouse models, cell culture phenotypic assays performed on primary cell cultures and cancer cell lines, and molecular biology and biochemical approaches to address these questions.
The candidates should have a recent bachelor’s degree in biology or a related field. Candidates with a Ph.D. or M.D/Ph.D degree in Cancer Biology, Genetics, Biochemistry, Cell Biology, or a related field are welcome to apply. The candidates should be highly motivated, have a strong desire to learn, and have excellent communication skills.
