Postdoctoral Associate (Dr. Hanzhi Luo)

The Hanzhi Luo Laboratory at the Fox Chase Cancer Center, Philadelphia is hiring highly ambitious and self-motivated Postdoctoral Fellows in Molecular Hematology. Applicants with a PhD and/or MD degree and the ability to work in a competitive environment should apply. Expertise in hematopoietic stem cell, murine hematopoietic leukemia, molecular biology, computation biology and RNA-related assays is preferred. The Luo laboratory opens door in Jan 2025, and the candidate is expected to join in 2025. The Luo laboratory uses state-of-the-art technologies and collaborations with leading scientist and clinicians to address the following areas: (1) Molecular basis of stem cell fate choices. (2) Identification and characterization of RNA regulatory mechanisms in normal physiology and diseases. (3) Molecular basis of cancer-associated RNA modifications. Dr. Hanzhi Luo received PhD in UC Berkeley studying stem cell aging and metabolic biology. She then performed postdoctoral training in the Michael Kharas lab in MSKCC, New York where she studied RNA binding proteins and their role in normal and malignant hematopoiesis. Her work: i) reveal for the first time that m6A controls HSC fate; ii) discover nuclear speckle protein SON as a critical m6A target and HSC fate regulator; iii) establish how m6A modification controls inflammatory programs that influence cell fate. Her work is published in top journals, including Cell Stem Cell, Cell Reports, Cell Metabolism, etc. She is a recipient of the NYSTEM postdoctoral award, a NIH/NIDDK K99/R00 award, and ASH abstract achievement award. Learn more about the research at Luo laboratory: The Luo laboratory is a member of the Cancer Epigenetics Institute (CEI) at Fox Chase. CEI offers trainees exceptional access to global epigenetics leaders and industry experts. CEI hosts an annual symposium featuring discussions on the latest advances, poster sessions, and travel awards. Trainees also present their research to colleagues within CEI and across FCCC. The institute is committed to enhancing each trainee's networking opportunities and exposure to cutting-edge science, supporting optimal career development that is suited for you.
