Postdoctoral Fellow_Diet and Colorectal Cancer

The Yun Laboratory in the Department of Genetics at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center is seeking a creative, independent, and highly motivated postdoctoral fellow to join our team and pursue research projects related to diet, colorectal cancer, and inflammatory bowel disease.
Our laboratory investigates how dietary exposures and nutritional states influence colorectal cancer development, progression, metastasis, and intestinal inflammation. We are especially interested in the mechanistic links among diet, tumor genetics, metabolism, the gut microbiome, inflammation, and the immune system. Current projects use mouse models, patient-derived organoids, human biospecimens, microbiome and metabolomics approaches, genomic analyses, and large-scale human datasets to define how dietary exposures shape intestinal disease biology.
Our lab is committed to pursuing rigorous, mechanistic, creative, and high-impact research that can lead to strong publications and meaningful ad...
