The Pennsylvania State University, MINIBio Laboratory
Immediate Opening on Circulating Tumor Cell (CTC) Biology and Its Clinical Research

An opening is immediately available for a highly motivated postdoctoral scholar or senior research associate to study Circulating Tumor Cell (CTC) biology and its related clinical significance, at Penn State Micro & Nano Integrated Biosystem Lab (MINIBio) Laboratory directed by Dr. Siyang Zheng. The MINIbio lab recently developed a platform technology to enrich viable circulating tumor cells from blood samples of metastatic patients. The technology has been validated and enables multiple exciting new research directions. The successful candidate is expected to further develop the technology and use this technology to study CTC biology and its clinical relations.

The candidate is expected to have a strong biology background especially cancer biology, (stem) cell biology, immunology, molecular biology techniques, animal models. A strong clinical background especially in oncology, hematology, pathology will be highly desirable. Strong interests and/or experience in micro/nano technology and biomedical devices will be a plus.

Successful applicants are expected to have:
1. Solid academic background and track records of research;
2. Good character (mature, responsible, persistent, collaborative, independent, etc.);
3. Good communication skills.

The Penn State MINIBio Lab aims at developing and applying micro/nano technologies for biological and medical applications. On one hand, we are interested in studying miniaturized devices and systems that can be integrated with biological system in vitro and in vivo. On the other hand, we are eager to apply these technologies for fundamental biological research and clinic diagnosis and treatment. The research is highly multidisciplinary, interfacing at engineering, biological sciences, physical sciences, and medicine.
