8. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
An open postdoctoral fellow position is available in the Department of Genetics under the direct supervision of Dr. George T. Eisenhoffer. Research in the Eisenhoffer laboratory focuses on understanding the mechanisms regulating epithelial tissue homeostasis and how disruptions promote pathogenesis and cancer using zebrafish and cultured cells.
