Using both experimental and computational approaches, our laboratory aims to deconstruct the mechanistic basis for control of gene expression in developmental and pathological contexts at the level of single genes to entire genomes. We are interested in multiple aspects of gene expression control, including transcriptional, translational and post-translational control mechanisms with a particular focus on nerve disorders, liver disease and cancer.
The successful candidates will be actively working in specific projects related with genome editing of ribosomal genes, and mechanistic and functional implications in in vitro and in vivo systems.
The applicants must have a master’s degree in neuroscience, cell biology, or molecular biology with a strong background in mammalian cell biology, CRISPR genetic manipulation and biochemistry.
Interested applicants can send a short description of research interest, a curriculum vitae and letters of reference to Dr. Ashwin Woodhoo (ashwin.woodhoo@usc.es)
