Current WashU Students
Undergraduate Students/Fellows (Trainees) are always welcomed. We encourage students to apply for Thesis work or BIO500 BIO200 courses.
We are also open to students from other universities that need to receive credit through a program (i.e internships).
Graduate and Medical Students
Cancer metastasis
We are seeking a motivated excited graduate students to join the lab and work on RNA modifications or RNA-protein binding. This new area of research will allow you to apply both bioinformatics and a wet lab techniques. Our research also allows you to work on patient samples.
Genomics
Computational analysis of RNA Sequencing, CHIP-Seq, iCLIP-Seq, RIP-Seq, CRISPRi Screening, and scRNA Seq data in metastatic cancer.
You will also have exceptional mentorship and guidance in a supportive lab environment.
