We are seeking to fill one position with a post-doctoral fellow. Broadly, we are interested in host-virus interactions within human viruses. We study the functions of human and viral non-coding RNAs in a tumorigenic virus in order to identify pathways instrumental to viral pathogenesis and potentially lead to discovery of novel antiviral and anti-tumor targets. Currently, we are studying the functional significance of a subset of circular RNAs and human genes that are differentially regulated by viral infection. Some non-coding RNA functions of interest include: regulation of infection, immune evasion, cell cycle regulation, and apoptosis. A separate project has been using various single cell and spatial transcriptomic approaches to understand viral and human gene expression in diseased tissue of patients with cancer virus malignancies.
Responsibilities
Conducting laboratory experiments and communicating results through publications and oral presentations at conferences.
