Postdoctoral position at the NCI

The project builds on our recent comprehensive analyses of distinct protein-DNA interactions associated with human replication origins, shown to modulate the progress of DNA replication. Our research strategy combines sequencing-based analyses with single-fiber studies to identify specific replication and repair pathways that affect the pace and frequency of DNA replication. We use these tools to ask how the molecular interactions that affect DNA replication respond to environmental challenges and how modulation of these responses affect the sensitivity of malignant cells to anti-cancer therapy. Training opportunities are augmented by collaborations with colleagues, physicians and pharmacologists from the intramural and extramural communities. Fellows are encouraged to take advantage of formal, focused courses (e.g. training in bioinformatics and translational research), actively engage in mentoring and participate in a variety of community activities including the NIH’s cell cycle interest group, DNA repair interest group and the NCI's Center of Excellence in Chromosome Biology.
