This project will be focused on integrating rich, multimodal 'omics data from cell lines and animal models, with the goal of identifying mechanisms leading to transformation and cancer. To identify such cancer-driving effects, we combine genomics, proteomics, and spatial transcriptomics data generated in the Theodorescu Lab with techniques for network inference, epigenetic rewiring, and dynamic modeling developed in the Padi Lab. Examples of the type of work that will be undertaken can be seen by our papers by Chen (Nature. 2025 Jun;642(8069):1041-1050), Abdel-Hafiz(Nature. 2023 Jul;619(7970):624-631), Gouin (Nature Commun. 2021; 12;12(1)), BenGuebila (Genome Biology. 2023; 24(1):45) and Yang (Journal of Clinical Investigation. 2025; 135(7)).

Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities Ability to work semi-independently on research projects within an area of specialization. Thorough technical and theoretical knowledge of research projects and the objectives to be accomplished during this post-doctoral appointment. Demonstrated aptitude to perform quantitative analyses, generate reproducible code, and interpret results in a biological context. Strong understanding of both bioinformatics and molecular biology. Minimum Qualifications Doctorate (PhD or MD/PhD) in computational biology, physics, math, computer science, or related field.
