Position Overview
**Job Description**
**Research Focus**
Our research aims to uncover the molecular mechanisms that govern cancer cell behavior by focusing on:
• Functional heterogeneity within tumors
• Phenotypic plasticity during tumor evolution and therapy response
• Cellular competence in tumor initiation, adaptation, and drug resistance
Rather than simply cataloging cellular states, we seek to identify the mechanisms that establish, maintain, and
regulate them. We combine genetic barcoding-based lineage tracing, functional genomics, organoid and
mouse models, CRISPR perturbations, and single-cell multiomics to track cancer evolution at clonal resolution
and uncover causal regulators of cancer cell identity and behavior.
The laboratory includes both experimental and computational researchers, fostering a collaborative and
interdisciplinary approach to studying cancer evolution and cell-state dynamics.<...
