Postdoctoral Research on tRNA Epigenetic Modifications

Postdoctoral positions are available in the lab of Professor Ya-Ming Hou at Thomas Jefferson University, Sidney Kimmel Medical College. We focus on tRNA epigenetic modifications and explore their roles in gene expression at the codon level and in response to cellular stress, which are new concepts at the cutting edge of molecular biology. We use a synthetic biology approach to determine how modifications impact cell fitness in engineered genomes with synonymous replacement of codons. Our lab is intellectually stimulating and encouraging global networking. Current projects are:

(1) Codon-specific translation in response to stress.
(2) Epigenetics of tRNA in neurodegenerate diseases.
