The John Liu Laboratory at UCSF is an interdisciplinary basic and translational research group dedicated to the advancement of knowledge to improve the diagnosis and treatment of brain tumors. We develop and apply cutting-edge functional genomic approaches collaboratively to achieve this mission.
We are actively recruiting a postdoctoral fellow with experimental/computational expertise to work on new functional genomics methods. Please contact [email protected] with questions about our research and open positions in our group.
