Senior Researcher - Memphis, United States - St. Jude Children's Research Hospital (St. Jude)
Description
The department of Computational Biology Genomics Laboratory, in conjunction with the department of Epidemiology and Cancer Control, has an immediate position available for a Senior Researcher with a background in molecular biology, microscopy, and cell culture techniques to support projects examining the effects of cancer treatment on the biomarkers correlated with health and aging.
St. Jude has a long history of innovation in the treatment of pediatric cancer. Less well known is the work performed at St. Jude to study the long-term impact of the treatment regimens on survivors of pediatric cancer. Many of these effects such as cognitive or physical impairments are immediately obvious. Recently, the examination of molecular markers as a predictor or indicator of future health issues in pediatric cancer survivors has begun to be investigated. For example, certain treatment protocols associated with Hodgkins Lymphoma are associated with a change in the makeup of cell populations within the peripheral blood that include genetic alterations correlated with an increased risk of breast cancer. There is also increasing evidence that the probability of the early onset of frailty can be predicted by measuring specific sites of methylation on certain populations of blood cells by what is popularly referred to as an epigenetic aging clock. The goal of our work will be to build on these early studies, by increasing the number of patients to better understand these biological mechanisms among large survivor populations and expand the scope of genes and modified sites examined to identify additional predictors of current and future adverse health outcomes. These projects will also evaluate samples from patients at both the population and single cell level to determine if specific cell populations or single cell programs serve as more accurate predictors of health outcomes. Many of the projects involve large sample sets, requiring extremely meticulous and accurate handling of samples.
