1. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
Several postdoctoral positions are available in the laboratory of Dr. Victor J. Torres in the new Department of Host-Microbe Interactions at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. The Torres lab is interested in dissecting the complex interactions between pathogenic bacteria and the mammalian host. Currently, the lab is focusing on antibiotic resistant (AMR) bacteria, which have been recognized by the World Health Organization as a serious threat to human health. We take advantage of multidisciplinary approaches and combine techniques from bacteriology, genetics, molecular biology, biochemistry, structural biology, cellular biology, and immunology with primary tissue culture models and a variety of murine models of infection, to address our favorite questions. Our ultimate goal is to understand the basic principles of bacterial pathogenesis as well as to develop a platform for the discovery of targets that could be exploited for the generation of much-needed therapies.

2. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The Mittag laboratory invites applications for a Postdoctoral Research Fellow to work on structures of the tumor suppressor and ubiquitin ligase component SPOP. We have recently solved the first cryo-EM structures of full-length SPOP (Cuneo et al. Mol Cell 2023), and they have revealed interfaces that had not recently been observed in structures of smaller constructs. Importantly, these interfaces are lined with cancer mutations whose molecular mechanisms were not previously understood, but now provide molecular explanations for pathophysiological mechanisms. We have also revealed that certain mutations lead to large changes in quaternary assembly. The project provides opportunities for characterizing structures of SPOP complexes with additional ligase subunits and of disease mutants with altered structures.

6. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The Abraham lab studies gene expression-regulation mechanisms in healthy and diseased mammalian cells. We are recruiting computational biologists to collaboratively develop computational tools and frameworks to analyze high-throughput sequencing (-omics) data. We build analytical software pipelines to find answers to biological questions about gene regulation in big datasets, usually from applied sequencing experiments like ChIP-Seq, RNA-Seq, and Hi-ChIP. Our interests center on enhancers and super-enhancers. Specifically, we seek to understand how these regulatory elements establish gene expression programs in healthy cells, and how enhancers are altered by mutation, abused by mistargeting, and targetable with drugs in diseased cells. We focus on characterizing the core regulatory circuitries driving disease-relevant cells, and on understanding how mutations in the non-coding DNA of such cells can drive disease, including cancers, through gene misregulation.

13. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The Chen Lab studies: (1) the chemical regulation of transcription, (2) the molecular basis of signal crosstalk among transcription factors, and (3) the mechanism of selective modulation of highly homologous enzymes. We are taking a hypothesis-driven and technology-enabled multidisciplinary approach to develop chemical probes and investigate biological mechanisms. In particular, we use the promiscuous nuclear receptors pregnane X receptor (PXR) and constitutive androstane receptor (CAR) as models. PXR and CAR transcriptionally regulate cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) and CYP3A5—drug-metabolizing enzymes that metabolize more than 50% of clinical drugs, the dysregulation of which contributes to drug toxicity and drug resistance.
