3. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
As the organism ages, cells lose their ability to function or begin to function abnormally throuout the body; byproducts and waste molecules build up in circulation and within tissues, connective tissue changes and becomes stiffer conditioning blood flow and oxygen intake, damage to building blocks of a cell (e.g. DNA, proteins, lipids) accumulate. Thus, as a whole an old organism is a different molecular entity than a young one, and tumors developing in aged hosts evolving in different ways than tumors developing in young ones its corollary. Recent work by Dr. Gomes has provided proof for this concept by demonstrating that treatment of established cancer cells with old human serum is sufficient to promote aggressive properties and propensity to metastasize (Gomes et al., Nature 2020). This puts the aging process at the center stage of tumorigenesis coordinating the different aspects required for the evolution of malignant phenotypes.

7. 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.

11. 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.

Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The Brady-Nicholls lab is primarily focused on developing patient-specific, predictive models of minimally- and non-invasive biomarkers. Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) are increasingly collected as part of a patient’s routine care, as they provide an easily-accessible, personalized assessment of a patient’s quality of life before, during, and after treatment. Changes in specific PROs over time can be important indicators of patient response that can be used to personalize treatment.
