Position description

We are a molecular biology laboratory (www.hsiunglab.org) innovating at the forefront of CRISPR synthetic biology, gene regulation, functional genomics, and tissue biology. Some questions/challenges we are interested in include: 1. How do we engineer cells to turn genes on or off? 2. How do we explore numerous combinations of genetic perturbations in a scalable way? 3. How do we engineer immune recognition of cancer or tissue regeneration? We are looking for individuals who are interested in a primarily wet lab research role working on some of the above themes.
