Postdoctoral Fellow

The Hanzhi Luo Laboratory at the Fox Chase Cancer Center, Philadelphia is hiring highly ambitious and self-motivated Postdoctoral Fellows in Molecular Hematology. The Luo Lab studies the molecular mechanisms regulating hematopoietic stem cell fate in normal and disease states, with a focus on RNA regulation and epitranscriptomic control, and leverages these insights to develop novel therapeutic strategies for hematologic diseases.

The Luo laboratory uses state-of-the-art technologies and collaborations with leading scientist and clinicians to address the following areas:

(1) Molecular basis of stem cell fate choices.

(2) Identification and characterization of RNA regulatory mechanisms in normal physiology and diseases.

(3) Molecular basis of cancer-associated RNA modifications.
