Postdoctoral Research in Neuroblastoma Tumor GenomicsThe Largaespada lab at the University of Minnesota Masonic Cancer Center is seeking a Postdoctoral Associate to perform research work focused on the role of FOXR2 in high risk neuroblastoma development. Studies will involve utilization of cutting-edge mouse models, tissue culture, biochemical methods and molecular biology. Extensive genomic characterization of human and mouse models of neuroblastoma will be performed. The role of FOXR2 in control of MYC function and cell signaling.  Methods to target FOXR2 high tumors will be investigated.Responsibilities20%: Animal husbandry and maintenance, necrospy and dissection, record keeping and molecular analyses of tumor and normal tissues using the polymer
