A postdoctoral position is available immediately in the Department of Surgery at Stanford University. As part of the Asian Liver Center, our lab uses multidisciplinary approaches to identify and develop more efficacious methods for the diagnosis and treatment of liver cancer. We are particularly interested in molecularly targeted diagnostic and therapeutic approaches, with the goal of translating our research into clinically feasible solutions for liver cancer patients. Aligned with this goal, this position offers exciting opportunities to work with external collaborators to evaluate promising diagnostic probes and therapeutic agents, using cell-based models as well as patient-derived xenograft models of liver cancer. This position is suitable for a highly motivated self-starter who excels in a dynamic environment offering varied learning opportunities.
