The Caino lab in the Department of Pharmacology has an opening for a full-time Research Services Entry level Laboratory Sciences Professional to join our team researching the impact of organelle dynamics and cell signaling in cancer progression. The goal of this research is to understand how mitochondria participate in cellular signaling pathways that are exploited in metastatic cancers, with the long-term goal of identifying novel anti-metastatic therapeutic targets. Research will involve biochemistry, molecular biology and cellular biology experimental procedures, high-throughput loss-of-function screenings and work with animal models of cancer and metastatic dissemination.
