Postdoctoral positions are available in Alberto Ciccia’s laboratory in the Department of Genetics and Development at Columbia University Irving Medical Center. The Ciccia laboratory investigates 1) the molecular mechanisms that maintain genome stability to suppress cancer development (Taglialatela A et al, Molecular Cell, 2021; Taglialatela A et al, Molecular Cell, 2017; Huang JW et al, Nature Communications, 2020); 2) the interplay between genome instability and anti-tumor immunity (Leuzzi G et al, Cell, 2024); 3) the function of nucleotide variants in DNA repair genes using innovative base editing screens (Cuella-Martin R et al, Cell, 2021); and develops 4) novel methods for precision genome editing (Billon P et al, Molecular Cell, 2017; Nambiar TS et al, Nature Communications, 2019; Billon P et al, Cell Reports, 2020; Nambiar TS et al, Molecular Cell, 2022).
