Bioinformatics/Computational Biology -
Experience building gene regulatory network models using gene expression as well as perturbation analysis to find upstream regulators and downstream targets of regulatory genes.
Experience analyzing genomic sequence data to search for transcriptional and post-transcriptional cis-regulatory elements using phylogenetic footprinting. |
Mouse models of cancer -
Experiments involving measuring tumor burden as well as characterization of the immune response using optical imaging and flow cytometry.
