An NIH-funded postdoctoral researcher position is available immediately in Dr. Nadia Dahmane laboratory at Cornell University-Weill Cornell Medicine in the Department of Neurological Surgery to study the transcriptional regulation of neuronal differentiation during cerebral cortex and cerebellum development. Our group uses cell biology, mouse genetics, biochemistry, genomic, epigenomics and proteomics approaches to decipher the cellular and molecular mechanisms controlling brain development and brain birth defects such as microcephaly. We are also interested in how these developmental mechanisms are involved in pediatric brain tumors. Current projects include the analysis of the function of a ZBTB transcription factor in mammalian neuronal differentiation as well as in medulloblastoma, a pediatric brain tumor of the developing cerebellum.
