Post-Doctoral Fellowship Position at the #Neuro-Oncology Laboratories Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and Kennedy Krieger Institute Research description: Glioblastoma (GBM) represents the most aggressive and lethal form of primary brain cancer. We now know that GBM cells are highly plastic and dynamically transition to tumor-propagating stem-like phenotypes (GBM stem cells, GSCs) that act as critical determinants of tumor recurrence. Understanding and ultimately targeting the epigenetic mechanisms that induce and maintain these tumor-propagating cell subsets is critical to improving GBM therapy and patient outcomes. The post-doctoral research will build on our published and unpublished findings that oncogenic reprogramming transcription factors induce tumor propagating GBM stem cells by regulating miRNA networks that target determinants of DNA methylation and other epigenetic mechanisms. Goals of the research are to understand how miRNAs linked to GSC reprogramming mechanisms regulate the TET2 demethylase and thereby alter the GBM methylome, transcriptome and tumor propagating capacity of GBM cells. The research fellow will also have the opportunity to translate mechanistic discoveries to therapeutic strategies using patient-derived GBM xenograft models. Position Requirements: Candidates must have completed doctoral training. Proficiencies in cell biological and molecular biological techniques, mammalian cell culture, gene cloning, expression vector generation, PCR, quantitative PCR, ChIP-PCR, immunoprecipitation, immunoblotting, quantitative analysis and scientific writing are desired.
