About the Department
The Bielas Lab, in the Molecular Diagnostics Program at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, studies the fundamental and clinical implications of nuclear and mitochondrial DNA mutations in the pathogenesis of cancer and age-related disease. Recent data attained with the use of an exceptionally sensitive array for quantifying both nuclear and mitochondrial mutations, have focused our principal research interest in the application of DNA mutations as novel molecular disease markers for diagnostics. We are currently investigating the prevalence of cancer-associated mitochondrial and nuclear mutations disseminated in bodily fluids as a marker for early detection, minimal residual disease, and recurrence. We have also initiated studies to explore the utility of genome mutational load, as an additional more quantitative index, of tumor therapeutic response, clinical stage, and progression.
We are recruiting a highly motivated scientist at the Ph.D. level to carry out fundamental DNA repair and mutation research, which investigates the mechanisms of disease pathogenesis—and promotes the translation, development and implementation of DNA-based biomarkers. We would especially like to encourage graduate students at the end of their training program, who are eligible for participation in NIH-funded training grants and fellowships to apply.
Qualifications
Ph.D. in a relevant biological field, with a strong background in molecular and cellular biology including: cloning,
transfection/infection of cells, PCR, and Southern/Northern/Western blotting. Experience in tissue culture, QPCR, mutational assays, and FACs is highly desirable. Candidates should be able to demonstrate a track record of independent productive research, show willingness to help guide junior lab members, have strong organizational, written, and verbal skills, and possess the ability to work both independently and as part of a laboratory team.
