10. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The Cook Lab research is investigating cellular interactions within the tumor bone microenvironment that contribute to tumor progression, with a specific focus on neutrophil-tumor interactions. Within bone, metastatic cancer cells highjack the normal couple process of bone remodeling, resulting in excess bone degradation and subsequent release of growth factors that promote tumor growth. Additionally, cancer cells progress and mediate bone turnover through molecular and cellular interactions with the surrounding bone stroma. The Cook lab is using a combination of transcriptome and proteomic profiling of patient samples and mouse in vivo models of bone metastasis along with sophisticated bone and live-cell imaging tools.

12. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
A postdoctoral position is available to study the function of mammalian polo-like kinase 4 and 1 (Plk4 and Plk1) that play central roles in regulating various biological events, including centriole duplication, bipolar spindle formation, chromosome segregation, cell division, and proliferation. Dysregulation of Plk4/Plk1-dependent processes by mutations in their associated components or HIV accessory proteins is tightly linked to developing aneuploidy and cancer. During the past several years, we have been combining biochemical, cell biological, and structural approaches (e.g., super-resolution imaging, in vitro reconstitution, X-ray crystallography, and cryo-EM) to delineate the molecular mechanisms governing Plk4/Plk1’s functionality on the centrosomal architecture, the deregulation of which can lead to the development of various human diseases, including HIV/AIDS-associated cancers.

We are recruiting a postdoctoral fellow to investigate the molecular mechanisms that prevent mislocalization of CENP-A and chromosomal instability (CIN) in human cells and mouse models. Faithful chromosome segregation is a critical event for every cell and defects in this process contribute to CIN and aneuploidy. Aneuploidy is proposed to contribute to tumor heterogeneity and cancer progression.
