Position Overview
The lab of Dr. Burns is seeking highly motivated individuals to join his lab as a Post-Doctoral Scholar focused on targeted therapies and brain metastases in lung cancer. Extensive experience in cancer biology, in vivo studies (mouse), and molecular biology techniques is necessary with experience in metastases and/or metabolism preferred. This position will oversee two projects aiming to find novel targeted therapies for oncogene driven lung cancer and the treatment of brain metastases. Projects will focus on (1) Development of targeted therapeutic strategies for oncogene driven NSCLC through targeting EMT transcription factors and/or (2) Targeting lung cancer brain metastases through inhibition of the HGF/MET/TWIST1 pathway and metabolic dependencies. Studies will be conducted through the use of in vitro, ex vivo and in vivo systems as well as with patient samples. Opportunities for Employees:
We are committed to supporting employees in continuing their passions and advancing their educational and career goals. Employees are highly encouraged to pursue their own projects and apply for grants, including Pelotonia. Motivated Individuals:
We seek driven individuals who thrive in a team setting and who are passionate about supporting our mission to understand lung cancer mechanisms and develop innovative treatments. Our Mission:
