Posdoctoral Researcher - Gynecologic Cancer
REF: 23-256_R_DL
About the research group
Gynecologic Cancer Group
The Gynecologic Cancer group at IDIBELL is actively focused on the identification of genes (coding and non-coding) that are essential for the development and progression of gynecological malignancies (mainly, but not exclusively, endometrial cancer) to ultimately discover novel therapeutic avenues to implement precision medicine in this field. In order to achieve this our group is engaged in multiple projects covering an array of techniques at both in vitro and in vivo level (CRISPR whole genome screenings, RNA_sequencing, proteomics, metabolomics, patient-derived orthoxenografts, etc) and focusing on several key major cellular processes such as autophagy. More information can be found at www.llobetnavaslab.org.
About the role
The candidate will work on a project related to womb cancer, immunooncology, therapy resistance and autophagy. The candidate will use a set of in vitro/in vivo models to study: (1) the role of autophagy during endometrial tumorigenesis and (2) the development of novel chemical compounds aimed at targeting the autophagy machinery for therapeutic purposes. We also expect the candidate to engage the project semi-autonomously and to participate in other side-projects carried out in the laboratory.
