About this position
The Hemalatha lab at the Friedrich Miescher Institute for Biomedical Research in Basel is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to study how metabolic perturbations shape oncogenic tolerance and cancer initiation in the skin epidermis.
The project focuses on how stem cells coordinate metabolic responses to maintain tissue homeostasis and respond to oncogenic mutations. You will investigate the fate of oncogene-bearing cells and the mechanisms by which metabolic state influences cell fate, using a combination of longitudinal intravital imaging, quantitative image analysis, metabolic tracing, and molecular approaches.
This position is embedded in a highly collaborative biomedical research environment at the FMI, an institute affiliated with the University of Basel and Novartis Biomedical Research. The institute hosts a large international research community and provides access to advanced imaging, genomics, and proteomics resources. The advertised work is part of the Hemalatha lab’s broader effort to understand metabolic control of tissue behavior in the skin.
