We seek highly motivated, ambitious and talented scientists to join our lab. The ideal candidate should be highly skilled in basic molecular biology techniques, cell culture and basic biochemistry Previous experience in working with animal models or in Next Generation Sequencing techniques will be a plus.

The Center for Genomic Science of IIT@SEMM located in Milan, Italy, is one of IIT’s national nodes. The Center benefits from state-of-the art facilities and advanced technologies. The successful candidates will be integrated in a lively community of experimental and computational scientists.

Our group has a long-standing interest in understanding the molecular mechanisms of transformation induced by oncogenic transcription factors such as Myc and the Hippo pathway co-activators YAP and TAZ. We make use of cellular as well as animal models to perform loss of function and gain of function studies coupled to genome wide analysis (ChIP-seq and RNA-seq). The scope of our research is to (i) identify basic rules in gene regulation, (ii) define the role of such transcription factors at the different stages of cancer progression and (iii) discover cancer cells liabilities.
