Today is the 100 days of the Yi Lab! 🎉🎉🎉

And look at the new color of Eunhee's office!

It is newly painted with a very fun and lovely color called "Lively Yellow"!

The Yi Lab looks forward to working with all new incoming lab members 😍 throughout this summer, fall, and winter!

Stay tuned for the introduction of the new members!

We investigate the molecular mechanism behind the extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA)’s oncogenic behaviors, which is well known as a cause of tumor heterogeneity and therapy resistance in cancers. We utilize a high-throughput image-based genetic screening platform to identify potential mechanisms. 

Successful candidates will lead a project to investigate the therapy resistance mechanisms of ecDNA-containing cancer cells and develop a novel way to overcome drug resistance in ecDNA-harboring cancers. 

Candidates must have a recent Ph.D. degree in a related field along with lead-author publications in top-tier journals, excellent communication and organization skills, and the ability to work independently within a research team. Candidates who pursue an independent career path are highly preferred. Expertise in cancer biology, molecular biology, cell biology, and biochemistry is also desirable. We will provide a competitive salary at the NIH postdoctoral stipend level, excellent benefits, and one-on-one mentoring for a successful research career.

This is a full-time, 12-month fixed-term position with reappointment contingent on satisfactory performance and available funding.

Interested candidates should apply HERE ! 

This post will be on until the positions are filled. 

Yi Laboratory website is launched today! More information for hiring will be posted soon!

Eunhee has accepted an offer and will join Michigan State University as a tenure-track assistant professor on January 1st, 2024!!
