The Genomics and Development of Childhood Cancers lab (https://institut-curie.org/team/saulnier ), headed by Olivier Saulnier is looking for one postdoctoral position researcher in bioinformatics.
The team focuses on using cutting-edge high-throughput genomic approaches and genome-wide data analyses to study the spatio-temporal origins of pediatric brain tumors. In addition, we investigate the transcriptional and post-transcriptional programs of the normal development that are hijacked by cancer cells in order to exploit these vulnerabilities as new therapeutic strategies.
Our research program utilizes computational methods and high-throughput single cell data to better understand these complex diseases.
