Description
Postdoctoral positions are available in the laboratory of Dr. Yilun Liu at Yale University School of Medicine. Dr. Yilun Liu’s research focuses on the relationship between genome maintenance and cancer prevention. One of the main research objectives in the laboratory is to study the biochemical functions of the human RecQ family helicases and their roles in tumor suppression and aging process. The projects will center on (1) identifying RecQ protein complexes from mammalian cell extracts, (2) characterizing in vitro biochemical properties of the RecQ protein complexes, (3) understanding in vivo cellular roles of the RecQ complexes, and (4) how the RecQ protein complexes are regulated in response to DNA damage and cell-cycle. For more information on human RecQ helicases and the related clinical diseases, please visit:
