Postdoctoral positions in Wnts and Stem Cell Biology field
Posted by Ravi, on 17 November 2016
Closing Date: 15 March 2021
Research Area Keywords:
Wnt signaling, Stem cells, Development, Neuromesodermal progenitors
Position Description:
New postdoc positions are available immediately in the laboratory of Dr. Terry Yamaguchi at the National Cancer Institute at Frederick. The group investigates how Wnt signals regulate the gene regulatory networks that control the fate of embryonic and adult stem cells. Current projects focus on understanding how Wnts regulate the self-renewal and differentiation of a recently described bipotent progenitor, the neuromesodermal progenitor (NMP), which generates the spinal cord neurons and musculoskeletal system of the trunk. Using a combination of mouse genetics, mouse and human embryonic stem cell in vitro differentiation, and genomic and proteomic approaches, Dr. Yamaguchi’s lab is investigating the molecular mechanisms underlying the activity of key transcription factors in NMP development, as well as in rare cancers such as chordoma.
