About this position
The Laboratory of Elisa Oricchio at the Swiss Institute of Experimental Cancer Research (ISREC), EPFL, is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow to join research on how cancer-associated genomic alterations shape tumor initiation, progression, and therapy response.
The project centers on understanding the molecular mechanisms that drive tumor evolution by integrating genetic and non-genetic mechanisms. The lab studies how functional consequences of cancer-associated genomic alterations reshape the structure and function of the epigenome, with a particular emphasis on chromatin 3D organization and its role in tumor development.
Work in the lab also explores how specific genomic alterations reprogram communication between cancer cells and immune cells, linking epigenetic remodeling with the tumor microenvironment and response to treatment. The position offers the chance to contribute to and expand these research directions within a vibrant cancer research environment.
The Oricchio lab is part of the Swiss Cancer Center Leman and is based on the EPFL main campus, providing access to an active interdisciplinary research community.
