The postdoctoral fellows will take leads in elucidating: 1) the composition of stress granules and their functional relevance in cancer cells biology and tumor microenvironment, or 2) role of obesity and metabolic syndrome in pancreatic tumorigenesis. Our research ranges from fundamental molecular mechanisms and organelle biology to clinical applications utilizing high-resolution imaging, molecular and cellular biology, 3D cell culture, flow cytometry, omics studies, and mouse models.
