a postdoctoral position is available to study the molecular mechanisms of UV-induced DNA damage and repair, melanocyte proliferation and melanoma formation, in an exciting new lab whose past work has included the development of several genetically engineered mouse models to demonstrate a UV-induced pigment signal pathway. This work and others has opened up an exciting field of research on the interaction between pigmentation and skin carcinogenesis. We are now focusing on understanding the anti-proliferation signal pathway of melanocyte after UVB irradiation, the role of pheomelanin in DNA repair, and the signal pathway of cutaneous melanoma formation. Our research will take a comprehensive approach combining mouse genetics, cell biology, biochemistry, and imaging modalities to uncover these mechanisms. Ultimately, we aim to find some small molecular mechanism to regulate tanning response or inhibit melanoma growth.
Highly motivated postdoctoral candidates with an enthusiastic interest in our research program are invited to apply. Please email or send a cover letter, CV, as well as 3 reference names, e-mail addresses and telephone numbers to:
