There is a postdoctoral research position opening in the laboratory of Deliang Guo, PhD, Director of the Center of Cancer Metabolism at The Ohio State University. His laboratory focuses on cancer metabolism, signal transduction, autophagy and miRNA across multiple cancer types, including brain tumors, lung cancer, liver cancer, sarcoma, pancreatic cancer etc. The research also expands to immune-metabolism and collaborate with world-leader in immune-oncology field. His lab was the first to identify EGFR/PI3K signaling upregulates SREBP-1, a membrane-bound transcription factor with a central role in lipid metabolism to control tumor growth (Guo, et al, PNAS, Science Signaling, 2009, Cancer Discovery 2011, Current Pharma Design 2014). Most recently, his lab further unraveled the underlying molecular mechanism linking EGFR/PI3K signaling and glucose to SREBP-1-regulated lipid metabolism. They found that glucose acting as an indispensable activator promotes SREBP signaling pathway via N-glycosylation modification on SCAP protein (Cheng et al., Cancer Cell, 2015). Moreover, they found lipid droplets and miRNA are actively involved in SREBPs regulation and lipid metabolism in malignancies (Geng, et al., Clinical Cancer Research 2016, and Peng et al., Cell Reports 2016, Xiang, et al., Cell Metabolism 2020).

A Post Doctoral Scholar position is available in Dr. Shujun Ou’s laboratory at the Department of Molecular Genetics, a new faculty member at The Ohio State University (OSU). The Ou lab studies the functional and evolutionary consequences of transposable element activities in plants. This field is thriving, but we still lack a systematic understanding due to technological and biological challenges. Hence, transposable element is also called the genetic dark matter. Some exciting observations suggest their biological importance. For example, transposable elements responding to stresses have been widely documented. Further study was limited due to the lack of good annotations and the ability to pinpoint particular TEs. Our research is built on automated, high-quality TE annotation and uses computational and experimental approaches to study what, how, and why TEs can be activated under stress conditions in plants. We use the latest sequencing technology (i.e., PacBio, Nanopore) and develop new algorithms and tools to answer these questions.
