Combination therapies of targeting HER3- and other pro-survival pathways

Cancer-liver stromal cell crosstalk.

Lab work will involve tissue culture; patient tissue handling (cryo-preserving, isolating primary cells, developing organoids and PDXs); DNA, RNA, and protein-related assays; cell growth and death assays; animal work (xenograft tumor models, PDX, breeding); basic transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics analysis. Additionally, studies will interface with experts in pathology, biostatistics, medicinal chemistry and other specialties. The candidate is expected to prepare manuscripts and contribute preliminary data, background and significance and experimental design for grant proposals. Under the guidance of the PI, the candidate should be able to work independently, read and critically interpret the literature, assist with designing and planning of projects, oversee collaborations, supervise students, manage animal models, and to carry out research on the assigned project. The candidate is encouraged to apply for grants and present at local and national meetings.
