Summary:
The Di Stefano Laboratory at Baylor College of Medicine is seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Associate to investigate the molecular mechanisms governing hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) fate and leukemogenesis. The research focuses on the intersection of post-transcriptional gene regulation, stem cell biology, and cancer, employing cutting-edge genomic and molecular approaches. This project will investigate how RNA helicases and biomolecular condensates regulate hematopoiesis and leukemia using innovative degron mouse models and RNA recording technologies. The laboratory is embedded within the Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine Center at Baylor College of Medicine, offering a collaborative and interdisciplinary environment with strong support for trainee development.
