Job Details

The Postdoctoral Fellow position is immediately available in the Barbieri laboratory to study the molecular mechanisms regulating tumor initiation and differentiation in neuroblastoma, a pediatric cancer arising from sympatho-adrenal neural crest cells. The lab aims at understanding how the epigenetic regulator CHAF 1 A drives undifferentiated, chemo-refractory, and metabolically distinct tumors, and developing novel approaches to intervention for high-risk neuroblastoma. Specifically, the lab is focused on understanding how the epigenetic changes induced by CHAF 1 A drive neuroblastoma oncogenesis, with particular emphasis on studies at the intersection of epigenetics, cell differentiation, and cell metabolism (Front Cell Dev Biol 2026; Trends Mol Med 2026, Cancer Discovery 2024; Nature Communications 2022, Nature Communications 2021; Advanced Science 2021). The Postdoctoral Fellow will use a combination of various cell and molecular biology approaches (including CRISPR-Cas 9 gene edi...Postdoctoral Fellow, Neuroscience, Science, Doctor, Neuro, Postdoctoral, Education
