LEARNING OBJECTIVES
This position's main goal is to study the underlying mechanisms of polyploid giant cancer cells in therapeutic resistance.
Polyploid giant cancer cells (PGCCs) can give rise to therapy-resistant cells in various types of solid tumors, but the underlying mechanisms that are associated with irradiation, chemotherapy drugs, olaparib-resistance in high-grade serous carcinomas (HGSCs), and other cancers - is unknown.
The successful candidate will join our lab in contributing to the development of preclinical projects that include multiple experimental approaches including in vitro tissue culture of PGCCs, stem cell differentiation, histopathology, immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, liver cell image and time-lapse, and animal models.
This role will also include analyzing and interpreting data, managing data to communicate scientific findings at informal and formal meetings, and preparing abstracts and manuscripts for presentation and publication in peer-reviewed journals.
As such, the ideal candidate must have demonstrated ability to conduct independent scientific investigations.
