Postdoctoral Fellow in Brain Tumor Translational Research
By msequeira
Our laboratory is interested in investigating the genetic and functional heterogeneity of tumor stem-like cells that initiate and sustain the growth of the most aggressive brain tumor in adults, i.e. glioblastoma. We integrate genomic measurements with phenotypic analysis and use this information to gain mechanistic insights into the development of therapeutic resistance. If you have […]

Postdoctoral Fellows – Translational Cancer Research
By msequeira
Postdoctoral positions are available immediately to investigate mechanisms of target organ metastatic specificity, notably to brain. Specifically, unique scientific opportunities are presented for deciphering the biology and therapeutic utilities of Circulating Tumor Cells (CTCs) directly isolated and characterized from cancer patients – “seeds” of fatal metastatic disease. Positions relate to highly relevant and innovative programs […]
