The Assistant Professor of Research is expected to perform high end molecular and cellular biology experiments and also help with laboratory management in Dr. Todd Stukenberg’s laboratory https://toddstuke.wixsite.com/stukelab . The Stukenberg lab focuses on cellular mechanisms of mitosis and how these are dysregulated during cancer progression.   Most of the experiments are based on in vitro biochemistry and cell biology in tissue culture cells and organoids.
