Postdoctoral Position - Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Program
Summary
Investigator: Kun Ling, Ph.D.
One postdocs position is open for a newly established laboratory. We are interested in the molecular mechanism underlying cell adhesion and migration, and how these would relate to embryogenesis, wound healing, and human diseases such as cancer metastasis. Our current major focus is to investigate how type I phosphatidylinositol phosphate kinases (PIPKIs), which generate phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate, regulate cell adhesion and migration, and participates in the relevant life events. Multidisciplinary approaches including molecular biology, biochemistry, cell biology, and genetics are used to address our research objectives. The postdoctoral fellow will join several ongoing projects to define the roles of PIPKIs in cancer metastasis, angiogenesis, and wound healing.
Ph.D. degree in cell biology or biochemistry is required. Candidates with experience of knockout or transgenic mouse will be preferred.
