1. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The Mann lab is dedicated to uncovering novel mechanisms driving pancreatic cancer (PDAC) progression and relapse. Alternative splicing is a process critical to cancer development and mechanisms deregulating splicing during disease progression is an exciting and emerging new area of study in PDAC biology. We recently showed that downregulation of the RNA binding protein RBFOX2 promotes PDAC metastasis through alternative splicing that enhances cytoskeletal remodeling programs promoting cell migration and invasion (Maurin et al., Nature Communications 2023). We are currently dissecting the mechanisms by which RBFOX2-mediated splicing events enhance the oncogenic function of proteins to promote PDAC progression.

10. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The Dunne Lab combines expertise in cell therapy, biomaterials, drug delivery, immunology, and medical imaging in order to develop novel cancer treatment strategies. The lab’s primary research focus is engineering micro- and nano-scale drug carriers for the purpose of controlling immune cell phenotype in order to alter the immunological state of the tumor microenvironment and ultimately enhance the efficacy of cell therapies for the treatment of cancer. Understanding temporal changes in whole body and intratumoral distribution of cell therapies and drug carriers is fundamental to this research. We are further interested in understanding the effect of externally applied stimuli (e.g. radiotherapy and/or hyperthermia) on the distribution kinetics of therapeutic agents.

11. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The Oskarsson laboratory studies the molecular interactions between cancer cells and the microenvironment in metastasis and in response to therapeutic intervention. The molecular context generated by the metastatic microenvironment evolves with progression of the disease and is an important determinant of cancer cell fitness. Our objective is to dissect both cellular and extracellular matrix (ECM) components of the microenvironment in metastasis. The group has shown how stress signals induced by chemotherapy can promote the induction of specific ECM components resulting in generation of a metastatic niche that can limit therapeutic efficacy (Insua-Rodriguez et al EMBO Molecular Medicine 2018). The work of the group has also revealed novel pro-metastatic interactions of disseminated cancer cells with fibroblasts and with endothelial cells in the lungs (Pein et al Nature Communications 2020 and Hongu et al. Nature Cancer 2022). Ongoing work involves the characterization of disseminated cancer cells that are dormant in different visceral organs but maintain growth potential.

15. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
Research in the DeNicola lab is centered around how metabolic deregulation occurs during tumorigenesis and how mutations that promote the activation of the transcription factor NRF2 control this process. Recent work from our lab has focused on how NRF2 influences tumor initiation and progression (PMID: 37062029), how NRF2 influences the cellular responses to cysteine availability (PMID: 31107239 and 33357455), and how tissues and compartments meet their demand for cysteine (PMID: 36862034, bioRxiv 2022.10.06.511221). We have several exciting projects focused on understanding how tissues and tumors use and acquire cysteine and rewire their metabolism in response to oncogene activation, stress, and metabolic perturbation. We are recruiting a postdoctoral fellow eager to explore these topics with sophisticated animal models, in vivo tracing and mass spec metabolomics technologies, and leverage these resources and technologies to develop their own independent research program.

17. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The Padron Lab studies the molecular pathogenesis of Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia (CMML) with the goal of identifying novel therapeutic vulnerabilities. CMML is a rare and lethal hematopoietic malignancy characterized by a characteristic classical monocytosis and a propensity to transform to Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). Interestingly, the majority of CMML patients present in a clinically asymptomatic state for periods of weeks to months before progressing to a lethal disease that clinically manifests via a heterogenous group of symptoms. There are no FDA approved therapies that have been demonstrated to alter the natural history of disease and the goal of our laboratory is to provide the preclinical evidence to increase the armamentarium available to clinicians treating this disease. Although our focus is centrally on CMML, our work aims to address questions in the field that can be more broadly applicable to other types of leukemias and cancers.
