The lab of Sanaz Memarzadeh, MD, PhD, focuses on understanding themolecular basis of the formation, progression and treatment of gynecologicepithelial cancers.The GynecologicOncology (GO) Discovery lab investigates the molecular pathways inchemotherapy-resistant ovarian and aggressive endometrial tumor cells that arecandidates for therapeutic intervention via small molecule inhibitors and/orimmunotherapy.Knowledge gained fromthis translational research will then be used to design and test strategies forcancer therapeutics that will move onto clinical trials.

Dr. Memarzadeh and the GO Discovery Lab (godiscoverylab.com) areseeking a full-time Staff Research Associate I to join their team.The candidate for this position will beexpected to perform a variety of molecular and genomic research techniques andtasks related to the procurement, transport and processing of tissue and tumorspecimens while working on projects related to understanding the immunologicand genetic events involved in the formation and progression of gynecologicdisease.Other responsibilities include laboratory and grant support duties related to new grant-funded projects; and preparationof data and technical writing for manuscripts, presentations, fundingapplications and progress reports.

Salary Range: $25.75 to $30.71 per hour.
