Dr. MacQuarrie is using cell culture models and samples to study how the organization of the cell nucleus in pediatric tumors relates to their biology, as well as to normal developmental cellular processes. These studies aim to identify specific similarities and differences between normal and tumor cells at both global and local levels in the nucleus. The goal of this study is to increase our understanding of the events that occur in pediatric tumors that lead to the development and/or maintenance of the tumor cells. The position will require 40 hours per week and will report to Kyle MacQuarrie, Instructor in Pediatric Hematology/Oncology. 20% of your time will be spent handling administrative tasks (reagent ordering, lab database management) and 80% on bench research.
