Bioinformatics Assistant | Laboratory of Chemical Immunology and Proteomics

Rockefeller University•New York, NY

21h

About The Position

The Laboratory of Chemical Immunology and Proteomics applies synthetic chemistry, chemical biology, and proteomics methods toward the goals of discovering and characterizing (a) novel selective chemical probes that perturb the functions of key proteins regulating immunological and neuroimmunological processes; (b) new mechanisms for small molecule-induced protein degradation; and, more broadly, (c) the pharmacological landscape and signal transduction pathways in immune and neuroimmunological disorders. By developing and applying innovative chemical proteomic profiling technologies, we aim to enrich our understanding of the molecular differences between pathologic and physiologic states in immune cells and cells of the nervous system and to leverage them from a pharmacological perspective for the development of new therapies that not only target specific immune cell subtypes, but also the defined activation states of these cells. Please see www.vinogradovalab.com for more information. Overview We seek a highly motivated Bioinformatics Assistant to join the Laboratory of Chemical Immunology and Proteomics.
