Washington University in St Louis, MO, USA -
Liquid biopsy technology development for early and non-invasive diagnosis of brain tumors
A postdoctoral position with a bioinformatics focus is available in the Molecular Oncology Laboratory of Dr. Dimitrios Mathios, MD, at The Brain Tumor Center of Washington University School of Medicine. Our laboratory aims to harness the expansive knowledge in brain cancer genomics, cancer epigenomics and immunogenomics to design liquid biopsy assays that will help us diagnose patients with brain tumors without the need for invasive surgeries. The goal of the lab is to take the liquid biopsy technologies developed in the lab and translate them to tests that can be used to guide patient care.
Working Conditions
This position works in a laboratory environment with potential exposure to biological and chemical hazards. The individual must be physically able to wear protective equipment and to provide standard care to research animals.
Salary Range
Base pay is commensurate with experience.
Applicant Special Instructions
Interested candidates should send a cover letter, their C.V. and a list of two or three references to mathios@wustl.edu.
