Postdoctoral Research Associate, Dermatology

The Rector & Visitors of the University of Virginia
Charlottesville, VA Full Time
POSTED ON 1/26/2025
AVAILABLE BEFORE 3/26/2025

The Department of Dermatology at the University of Virginia (UVA) School of Medicine invites applications for a federal-funded postdoctoral research associate position. This role will focus on studying Cancer Biology and Stem Cell Biology in the laboratory of Dr. Lu Le, Professor and Chair of the Department of Dermatology.

Dr. Le's lab investigates how genetic and microenvironmental factors interplay to regulate tumorigenesis. Our research focuses on identification of the cell of origin and elucidating the role of tumor microenvironment in cancer development. We dissect the cellular and molecular mechanisms of carcinogenesis from a developmental perspective using Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1), a common tumor predisposition human genetic disorder, as a model. While working on neurofibromatosis, our research group serendipitously uncovered the identity of follicular epithelial cells that directly give rise to hair and mechanisms that cause hair to turn gray - findings that led to our second focus to identify possible treatments for balding and hair graying associated with aging.

Our laboratory offers a rich experimental environment that encompasses both basic and translational research.
