Postdoctoral Research Associate or Research Associate

Gaddameedhi Laboratory

Exciting postdoctoral fellow or research associate position available in the Gaddameedhi Lab at Washington State University. The NIH funded projects will focus on molecular and preclinical studies in the areas of 1) molecular biology, understanding the role of circadian clock genes in determining the timing of genotoxicity and cellular sensitivity to environmental factors such as solar UV-B. 2) Circadian/cancer biology, understanding the mechanisms of how circadian clock-disruption influences DNA repair, inflammation, and environmental carcinogenesis. Additionally, these projects provide leadership opportunities to train students and to collaborate with translational scientists who provide access to human tissue biopsies. Related research and publications of these projects from Gaddameedhi laboratory are available in the following link. https://pharmacy.wsu.edu/directory/shobhan-gaddameedhi/
