Job Description
Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) invites applications for the position of Research Technician III the laboratory of Dr. Semir Beyaz.
The Beyaz lab is interested in the development of a comprehensive understanding of how nutrients and metabolism influence cellular networks that govern tissue regeneration, cancer and immunity. We dissect the precise mechanisms of how reciprocal interactions between tissue stem cells, immune cells and the microbiome affect tissue fitness or cancer outcomes. We utilize state-of-the-art experimental and computational approaches to integrate genetic, epigenetic, metabolism and microbiome data to identify causal targets that can be therapeutically exploited. To assess therapeutic potential of our discoveries, we have developed a comprehensive and inclusive biobank with tissue specimens, autologous patient-derived organoids and immune cell co-culture systems from patients across diverse ancestries.
Position Responsibilities
We are looking for a highly motivated Research Technician III to join a collaborative team of scientists for developing novel approaches to mitigate toxicity and enhance efficacy of cancer therapeutics. This exciting project is in collaboration with a leading US-based venture capital firm.
