An ambitious EC-funded research initiative on epigenetics advancing towards systems biology

LBCMCP, Université Paul Sabatier

Description

A post-doctoral position is available starting from September 2013 in the laboratory of Luisa Di Stefano at the LBCMCP (Laboratoire de biologie cellulaire et moléculaire du contrôle de la prolifération) in Toulouse, France. The Di Stefano team investigates the role of the histone demethylase LSD1, a key chromatin regulator, in the control of gene transcription and chromatin homeostasis in vivo in Drosophila and in cancer cell lines. The candidate will focus on the identification of novel dLsd1 partners important for its functions during development and in tumorigenesis. The projects will integrate genetics, chromatin biochemistry, cell biology, transcriptome and epigenome analysis.
