POSTDOCTORAL POSITION available in the Department of Biochemistry and Microbiology at Rutgers University to study the molecular and cellular mechanisms of chromatin in circadian regulated gene expression using model organisms. For more information see http://aesop.rutgers.edu/~beldenlab. Recent Ph.D.s with a background in biochemistry, molecular biology, or bioinformatics are encouraged to apply. Applicants should have a strong publication track record and a high degree of productivity from their graduate studies. This is a perfect opportunity for someone with bioinformatics experience to expand his or her expertise into wet-bench research. If interested, please send a one page cover letter stating academic goals, a curriculum vitae, and contact information for three references to [email protected].

The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist on Modified Bases...Yesterday, 07:01 AM -
Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...04-04-2024, 04:25 PM
