The Zhou laboratory (zhoulab.dgsom.ucla.edu/) at UCLA, are looking to recruit an outstanding Postdoctoral Scientist to conduct bioinformatics research in non-invasive precision oncology. Blood-based diagnostics, i.e. liquid biopsy, presents the most promising direction for non-invasive early detection of cancer. We are using cutting-edge genomic and bioinformatic approaches to develop advanced approaches for non-invasive early cancer diagnosis and monitoring. The individual sought will develop innovative big data analytic approaches. He/she will publish their findings in high-profile peer-reviewed journals and be co-inventors on patents related to their work.
Our recent paper in liquid biopsy can be found at
