Overview
A Research Scientist position is available in the laboratory of Dr. Xiaoting Zhang in the Department of Cancer Biology at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, to study transcriptional and epigenetic gene regulation in breast cancer metastasis and therapeutic resistance. The Zhang laboratory focuses on elucidating the role and molecular mechanisms of gene- and tissue-specific transcriptional cofactors, small RNAs and liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) in the above processes. We are using a combination of biochemical, molecular, genomic, and mouse genetic approaches and are developing RNA-based nano-therapeutics to target these cofactors and small RNAs to overcome therapeutic resistance of human breast cancer.
