2019 PhD Projects @ IBDM : Investigating basic principles of tumor hierarchy in Drosophila Tumors are often heterogeneous, composed by different cell types that exhibit a hierarchical organization reminiscent to developing tissues. At the top of the hierarchy lie Cancer Stem Cells (CSCs) that have the ability to undergo unlimited self-renewal, to propagate tumor[…]

A postdoctoral position is available in the laboratory of Dr. Christopher Sturgeon, at the Washington University School of Medicine, in St. Louis, MO. We have developed novel human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC) directed differentiation strategies that generate extra-embryonic and intra-embryonic like hematopoietic progenitors. Several research projects are available, all focused on the translational potential of[…]

We seek an outstanding postdoctoral candidate to join the Yeh Laboratory at Texas A&M University in College Station (http://biomed.tamu.edu/tml). Our group uses interdisciplinary and quantitative approaches to study the molecular and cellular basis of embryonic development with specific focus on brain development. In this context, we are interested in understanding how complex multi-enhancer regulatory landscapes[…]

A postdoctoral position is currently available in the Pujol_Ewbank Laboratory, part of the Labex INFORM and Turing Centre for Living Systems (CENTURI), to study the cellular and molecular response to damage, or how wound healing and immune responses are coordinated in a single cell. Description: We are looking for a highly motivated, enthusiastic and interactive[…]

We are seeking a creative and exceptionally motivated candidate to fill a post-doctoral position in the field of cardiac development and regeneration. Research in the Radice lab investigates the molecular mechanisms regulating how heart muscle cells sense and respond to mechanical force. Our lab discovered that N-cadherin/catenin cell adhesion complex together with the underlying cytoskeleton[…]

The Turing Centre for Living Systems (CENTURI) recruits up to 5 highly motivated postdoctoral fellows to work in an interdisciplinary life science environment. CENTURI postdocs will have the opportunity to develop their project with more than one research group, bridging biology to other disciplines. Candidates will have a background in any of the following fields:[…]
