We are currently in the process of hiring a new research fellow.

A postdoctoral fellow position is available at the Cardiovascular Research Center of Massachusetts General Hospital to study leukemic oncogenes using zebrafish models. The research focus will include both the dissection of oncogenic pathways and the identification of oncogene antagonists using chemical screening. The fellow should have a strong background in molecular biology, developmental biology, and/or hematopoiesis. The position will integrate in a highly interactive and intellectual environment. Recent publications from the Principal Investigator can be found here:
