Postdoctoral Positions – Unit on Genome Structure and Regulation – NIH/NICHD

Posted by , on 6 April 2018

Closing Date: 15 March 2021

We are at the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) at NIH, Bethesda, Maryland USA. Our lab is interested in understanding cell lineage differentiation, gene regulation and how non-coding DNA elements and the 3D architecture of chromosomes contribute to these processes during early mouse development.

The NIH is dedicated to building a diverse community in its training and employment programs.

We combine imaging techniques in both fixed and living cells with sequencing- based genomic techniques that assess DNA-DNA interactions.
(A) Hi-C and CTCF ChIP- seq of GM1278 cells
(B) dCAS9 MCP-EGFP and PCP-CHERRY live imaging of the Igh and Akap6 loci.
The mouse embryo is an unparalleled system in mammalian biology for understanding how tissue- specific gene expression is achieved.
(C) Whole mount in-situ hybridization for patterning markers in mid and late gastrulating embryos.
(D) Tetraploid aggregation with GFP ES cells allows generation of fully ES-cell derived embryos.
