Job Description
This position reports directly to Dr. Eric Pietras, PhD, and will work within the Pietras Lab, a component of the School of Medicine’s Hematology Division. This position is involved in studies aimed at defining the biology of pre-leukemic stem cells using animal models and primary patient specimens. Specifically, the Fellow will help investigate the role of metabolism in the biology and pathogenesis of acute myelogenous leukemia by addressing key biological questions in the setting of clonal hematopoiesis (CH). The Fellow is expected to conduct research projects, to think independently, be highly motivated, design and carry out experiments, analyze data, and interpret and publish results. It is the Fellow’s responsibility to fully understand the technical details of Dr. Pietras’ projects as well as how each applies within the larger context of defining novel therapeutic agents in Hematological Research.
