BACKGROUND

Postdoctoral positions(both computational and wet lab) are available in the department of Bioinformatics and Computational Biology at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center (MDACC). We study resistance to targeted therapies and aim to discover combination therapies to overcome or forestall the resistance in cancer. Our laboratory combines advanced network inference and machine learning algorithms with drug perturbation and profiling experiments.
