Posted : July 20, 2020 Full-Time 0 --> Salk Main Campus La Jolla, CA, USA Salk Main Campus La Jolla, CA, USA +0 more less Job Details Description Laboratory employs the help of a small DNA virus, called adenovirus, to both understand and treat cancer. DNA viruses and tumor cells sabotage such controls to drive their respective pathological propagation, albeit with one small difference: In tumor cells the key cellular players are targeted via mutations, while in infected cells viral proteins achieve the same end. Not surprisingly, many of the cellular targets are the same. Dr. O'Shea's lab is exploiting this overlap to help address three key questions: What are the critical cellular targets and pathways that drive deregulated growth? What is the human growth deregulation program and how do we uncouple it for tumor therapy? Can we...
