National
Cancer Institute, Bethesda, MD and surrounding area
A postdoctoral fellow position is available in
the Molecular Biology of DNA Section of the Laboratory of Molecular Biology in
the National Cancer Institute. The focus of our research is to understand the
mechanisms that underlie ATP-dependent protein remodeling carried out by
molecular chaperone machines and the role of chaperones in ATP-dependent
proteolysis. Our goal is to provide the foundation for discovering preventions
and treatments for diseases that involve protein aggregation, misfolding or
premature degradation, including cancer, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, type II
diabetes, cystic fibrosis, and prion diseases. Current projects include studies
of Hsp90, Hsp70 and Clp/Hsp100 proteins. Our projects utilize methodologies in
molecular biology, biochemistry, biophysics, genetics, cell biology, and
proteomics and primarily employ E. coli and yeast as model organisms.
