These projects are part of a large collaborative network involving Research Centers and Universities in Italy and abroad.

A short term post-doctoral position is immediately available in the laboratory of prof. Licio Collavin at the University of Trieste (http://tinyurl.com/collavinlab) The lab is focused on the molecular mechanisms that determine cancer aggressiveness, with a special interest in function and regulation of the tumor suppressor DAB2IP, a Ras-GAP and signaling adaptor that modulates multiple oncogenic pathways. For more information, or to apply, feel free to write directly to prof. Collavin

The goal of our lab at the San Raffaele – Telethon institute for Gene Therapy (SR-TIGET) in Milan is to study the regulation of blood cell emergence during human embryonic development. To this aim, we use our innovative hESCs/hiPSCs platform and combine developmental cell and molecular biology to understand normal and pathological human hematopoietic development, with a particular interest in studying the genetic origins for blood disorders and developing novel strategies for their treatment.
