Staff Research Associate II - Translational Oncology Research

Description

The lab of Sanaz Memarzadeh, MD, PhD, focuses on understanding the

molecular basis of the formation, progression and treatment of gynecologic

epithelial cancers. The Gynecologic

Oncology (GO) Discovery lab investigates the molecular pathways in chemotherapy-resistant

ovarian and aggressive endometrial tumor cells that are candidates for

therapeutic intervention via small molecule inhibitors and/or

immunotherapy. Knowledge gained from

this translational research will then be used to design and test strategies for

cancer therapeutics that will move onto clinical trials.

Dr. Memarzadeh and the GO Discovery Lab (~~~) are

seeking a full-time Staff Research Associate II to join their team. The candidate for this position will be

expected to perform a variety of molecular, cellular and genomic research

techniques while working on projects related to understanding the immunologic

and genetic events involved in the formation and progression of gynecologic

disease. Other responsibilities include

laboratory support duties and preparation of data and technical writing for

manuscripts, presentations, funding applications and progress reports.
