The main research interests in the Wu Lab are to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying the development, disease, and senescence of heart cells, and to develop potential therapeutic strategies to rectify pathogenesis and aging in the heart.
Jobs
Post Doctoral Fellow – Liver Physiology/Metabolism, Wayne State University
The main focus of the Sun lab is to delineate the physiological significance and underlying molecular mechanism of endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-associated protein degradation (ERAD) machinery in health and disease, with special focus on the regulation of liver homeostasis.
Post Doctoral Fellow – Cancer Biology, Princess Margaret Cancer Centre
Our research focuses on identifying therapeutic strategies for the treatment of colorectal cancer. We are focused on targeting the unique vulnerabilities of cancer cells when they are in the drug tolerant state. Genetics, proteomics, transcriptomics, bioinformatics, Genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 screening, biochemistry and molecular analyses of human cancer cells, mouse models and primary samples (including organoid culures) are used for our studies.
Post Doctoral Fellow – Organelle Trafficking, University of California Irvine
This postdoctoral project is a collaboration between a Drosophila neurogenetics lab and a biophysics trafficking lab. We are seeking a scholar to use multiple approaches including super-resolution imaging to study the transport and regulation of organelles in vivo, in neurons that are regenerating after injury.
Post Doctoral Fellow – Genetics, Baylor College of Medicine
We are seeking postdocs to study the mechanisms of genome instability, DNA repair and recombination. Our research interests range from the fundamental basic molecular mechanisms of DNA repair, recombination and replication in model organisms and human to diverse clinical applications including cancer therapeutics.
Faculty Job Search Prep Camp from August 9 – 12, 2021
If you’re planning to apply for faculty jobs, either in this upcoming cycle or in the future, join Penn Career Services for this four-day Faculty Job Search Prep Camp to get a head start on planning your job search. Through workshop presentations and faculty and alumni panels, we’ll help you understand how you can best prepare for each step of the process, from assessing your readiness to go on the faculty job market and crafting application materials to preparing for interviews and negotiating offers. Throughout the week of August 9th, Faculty Job Search Prep Camp attendees are encouraged to make a virtual one-on-one appointment via Handshake with a Career Services advisor on Friday, August 13th to discuss a faculty job search document that you’d like feedback on. Check Handshake for all the times available for appointments!
