Job description
DNA replication represents a crucial, but potentially dangerous process that cells must complete to undergo cellular division. A failure to properly maintain the integrity of replicating chromosomes inevitably leads to genome instability, which is an early event in tumorigenesis. The candidate will be part of a diverse research team studying molecular and the structural mechanisms underlying DNA replication stress and how it could be exploited to drive chemosensitivity.
The main focus of the project will be to decipher the role of RNA processing in replication fork stability and how this process could be disrupted to achieve chemosensitivity in tumors. To study the molecular effects of RNA metabolism in replication stress response, the candidate will employ multiple state of the art technologies CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing, High content microscopy, modern sequencing and proteomics technologies and mouse transplantations in combination with structural technologies like Electron Microscopy.
