Our research
The Wennerberg group at BRIC focuses on identifying new effective precision cancer therapies. This is done with a systems-driven approach where we combine chemical biology, phenotypic profiling, molecular profiling, and informatics to gain an understanding of individual cancers, their drug resistance mechanisms, and how they may be targeted. Our ultimate goal is to build the foundation for new types of stratified and individualized curative treatment strategies for cancer patients.
Your job
You will work on a project focused on discovering new stratified vulnerabilities in glioblastoma. You will utilize arrayed CRISPR and drug screens combined with high-content imaging and flow cytometry in primary glioblastoma cell cultures to reveal new genetic and pharmacological vulnerabilities that will be further explored in vitro and in vivo.
