Translational control in aging and neurodegeneration
These new findings point to nodes in posttranscriptional gene regulation that both contribute to aging and offer targets for therapy.

Transcriptome analysis of primary podocytes reveals novel calcium regulated regulatory networks
Comparison of the ex vivo transcriptional response from the primary podocyte culture with glomerular transcripts across a wide spectrum of CKD disease confirmed co‐regulation of transcript sets, establishing the disease relevance of the model system. Our findings demonstrate novel [Ca2+] regulated gene networks in podocytes deepening our understanding of podocyte biology and disease.

(Equivalent to a Faculty level Associate Professor or Professor)
The National Cancer Institute (NCI), Center for Cancer Research (CCR), RNA Biology Laboratory is seeking an outstanding, internationally known scientist to lead an independent research group focused on any area of RNA biology.
|

Applicants should hold a PhD or MD/PhD degree(s) and have expertise in molecular, cellular, or structural biology to study one of a number of ongoing projects, including but not limited to FMRP function in Fragile X Syndrome (FXS), or effectors of nonsense-mediated mRNA decay efficiency. A background in neurobiology and/or stem-cell biology would facilitate the work on FXS, a background in computational biology would facilitate both projects, but neither is required.
