Postdoc Position (Trancriptomics) in the Molecular BioEngineering Group

Introduction of The Lab / Research Field

The Piatkevich lab (www.piatkevich-lab.com) is a multidisciplinary research group that utilizes diverse bioengineering and biochemical approaches to develop novel molecular techniques to study complex biological systems. Our ultimate goal is to develop novel scalable technologies that will offer a new paradigm for probing both functional and structural properties of biological systems to enable a better understanding of the causal correlations between activity and structure in defined cellular ensembles. We also utilize our tools for the systematic analysis of the physiological processes in vivo.

Multiple positions are available in the Piatkevich lab, including Postdoctoral Researcher.
