Research in the Baker lab is supported by three recent NIH grants.Our research employs a mixture of in vivo molecular genetics, imaging and manipulations of developing Drosophila and mouse tissues, cell culture, single cell sequencing and profiling methods, and in vitro molecular biology. Expertise in any of these areas is desirable, but self-motivation and independence are more important.This initial appointment is for two years.
