Post-doc position in the Lianfeng Wu Lab, School of Life Science

Introduction of The Lab/ Research Field

The Wu Lab is interested in the gene regulatory and metabolic networks in control of organism development, aging, metabolism, and responses to nutritional, environmental and therapeutic inputs. By leveraging the integrated power of genetics, biochemistry and physiology in varied systems, including the nematode C. elegans, cultured cells and mouse model, we are aiming to understand mechanisms underlying human metabolic disorders and exploit effective interventions to prevent and treat related disorders. The Wu Lab is seeking two highly motivated and skilled post-doctoral candidates who have a solid background either in metabolism, cell biology, biochemistry, bioinformatics, and/or cancer biology.
