“Up on the Roof” Postdoctoral Program
in Cancer Biology and Genetics
The Ohio State University
High caliber individuals with a strong record are invited to apply for six postdoctoral positions to study various molecular and genetic aspects of cancer. The Program is highly interactive and multidisciplinary, and fields of research range from the identification of novel oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes, to the control of proliferation, cell cycle and apoptosis, epigenetics, transcription regulation, signal transduction pathways, immunology, mouse tumor models, bioinformatics, and computational biology of cancer models. The program has had a history of placing our postdoctoral fellows in tenured assistant professor positions or equivalent positions of leadership. For a more detailed description of the research interests of participating faculty members please see our web page at http://www.cancergenetics.med.ohio-state.edu.
