In conjunction with this work, we also develop and apply next-generation model systems to advance our research and for precision medicine applications. Our lab is a fast-paced, collegial and supportive research environment. The DeRyckere and Graham labs are seeking a full-time Assistant Research Professor to lead a project focused on the TAM family kinases as therapeutic targets for treatment of breast cancer.
