The Integrated Cancer Genomics Lab in the Department of Genetics at the University of Delhi South Campus is recruiting postdoctoral researchers for immediate-start positions in functional cancer genomics . The research programme investigates genomic and molecular mechanisms underlying cancer development, progression, metastasis, relapse, and resistance to treatment. Available projects span cancer genomics , liquid biopsy , single-cell analysis , and functional studies of treatment resistance across breast, lung, tongue, and head and neck cancers. Research themes represented by the lab’s recent work include endocrine-therapy resistance associated with CDKN1B inactivation and ER signalling, plasma-derived microbiome profiling in lung cancer using targeted and whole-exome sequencing, tumor-suppressor mutations as indicators of relapse, large-scale cancer genome analysis, recurrent gene translocations, and miRNA-associated mechanisms of lymph-node metastasis. The positions offer an opportunity to work in an integrated cancer genomics environment within the Department of Genetics, under Professor Amit Dutt, and to develop a research career in translational and functional cancer genomics.
