About the role

Institution: UT Southwestern Medical Center

The Children's Research Institute (CRI) has an exciting opportunity for a Postdoctoral Fellow, with a PhD or MD/PhD, to join the research team of Dr. Hao Zhu, Investigator. Translational research in liver cancer and regeneration

Major projects involve metabolomic and metabolic flux profiling, cell surface proteomics, antibody-based therapeutic development, and translational applications in liver cancers.

Prior experience in molecular biology, biochemistry, and protein characterization techniques is preferred. Experience in metabolomics, mass spectrometry, stable isotope tracing, proteomics, or cancer biology is highly desirable.
