Job Description
Summary: Kalpana Laboratory in the Department of Genetics at the
Albert Einstein College of Medicine is seeking to fill an
NIH-funded post-doctoral position immediately. Highly motivated
PhDs are needed to take part in exciting HIV/AIDS projects.
Kalpana laboratory is studying viral replication (HIV-1 and
SARS-CoV2) and Cancer. More specifically, the laboratory is
interested in understanding the role and functional significance of
tumor suppressor INI1/SMARCB1, a component of the chromatin
remodeling SWI/SNF complex, in viral replication and in various
cancers. Using structural, biochemical, molecular, cell biological,
and genetic approaches, the goal is to gain mechanistic insights
into INI1 function, which will be further translated to develop
novel diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for viral diseases and
cancer. The current position is to study the role of RNA mimicry of
INI1 in HIV-1 replication (Nature Communications 2021) and to
further develop a new first-in-class HIV-1 inhibitors that are
based on the newly gained knowledge of HIV-Integrase-Host factor
interaction interface.
