The Gene Regulation Lab, an ICREA group at the IDIBAPS Research Institute (Barcelona, Spain), is looking for a postdoc to work on the role of the plasticity EMT factors ZEB1 and ZEB2 in macrophages during cancer (tumor-associated macrophages in colorectal cancer, ovarian cancer, melanoma). The ZEB1 and ZEB1 factors play key roles in homeostasis and disease regulating stemness (normal/cancer stem cells), differentiation, tissue regeneration, and tumor initiation and progression.
The successful candidates will join a dynamic and international group of postdoc and PhD students in a leading research center in downtown Barcelona.
The projects make use of a wide array of state-of-the-art techniques, and in vitro and in vivo approaches including unique transgenic mouse models and high-throughput and OMICs technologies.
