The laboratories of Dr. Sethu Pitchiaya and Dr. Evan Keller at the University of Michigan seek to hire an enthusiastic Postdoctoral fellow. Our collaborative research seeks to understand the role of mammalian stress response mechanisms in cancer and strives to translate these findings for diagnostic and therapeutic applications. To address these pressing questions in physiology and cancer biology, we probe a variety of in vitro systems, in vivo models and mammalian tissues using an arsenal of contemporary technologies, super-resolution imaging, single-cell sequencing, and spatial omics.
