Postdoctoral Fellow/Trainee ( Job Number: 39324 ) Description: University of Colorado Anschutz: Department: Neurosurgery: Job Title: Postdoctoral Fellow/Trainee: Position #00845975 – Requisition #39324: Job Summary: The Janiszewska lab dissects the ecosystem of aggressive brain tumors to identify novel vulnerabilities of these incurable tumors. The lab employs a variety of techniques, including confocal microscopy, spatial transcriptomics and in vitro and in vivo models to study brain tumor cell-cell interactions and the organization of the cancer ecosystem. We strive for highly collaborative and inclusive lab environment. Trainees will have ample opportunities to interact with researchers in the department, across our campus and with external collaborators. One of the major challenges contributing to poor survival of patients with brain tumors is the intratumor heterogeneity. Cancer cells with different properties, including different sensitivity to treatment, often co-exist within a tumor, leading to relapse and disease progression. Our goal is to understand the dynamics of intratumor heterogeneity and its functional implications in disease progression in highly aggressive brain...
