Are you looking for an opportunity to have a direct influence on the development of new cancer therapies? Do you want to be part of an exciting and multi-disciplinary research group?
Here is your chance to contribute to science that makes a difference!
We are looking for a Master Student (f/m/d) in Leukemia and Chromatin Biology to join the group of Davide Seruggia. In this responsible role, you will have the unique opportunity to be part of a multidisciplinary competence center for pediatric oncology and to have a direct influence on the development of new cancer therapies.
The group (www.seruggialab.com) is interested in gene regulation in the context of pediatric cancer and focuses on the study of non-coding regulatory sequences (enhancers) as well as protein complexes involved in the control of gene expression. We use genome editing (CRISPR screening, CRISPRi/a, dense mutagenesis), chromatin profiling (ChIP-seq, CUT&RUN, ATAC-seq), imaging, proteomics, mouse models and computational approaches to identify and characterize cancer vulnerabilities.
