The research lab of
Sanaz Memarzadeh, MD, PhD, focuses on understanding the molecular basis of the
formation, progression and treatment of gynecologic epithelial cancers. The
Gynecologic Oncology (GO) Discovery lab (godiscoverylab.com) investigates the
molecular pathways in chemotherapy-resistant ovarian and aggressive endometrial
tumor cells that are candidates for therapeutic intervention via small molecule
inhibitors and/or immunotherapy. Knowledge gained from this translational
research will then be used to design and test strategies for cancer
therapeutics that will move onto clinical trials.
Dr.
Memarzadeh and the GO Discovery Lab (godiscoverylab.com) are seeking a
full-time Staff Research Associate III to join their team. As a member of our
cutting edge gynecologic oncology research laboratory (G.O. Discovery Lab),
you'll under the mentorship of Dr. Sanaz Memarzadeh to focus on determining the
molecular basis of epithelial cancer formation, progression and treatment. More
specifically, you will work with cell lines, animal models, viruses, DNA, RNA ,
proteins, and other diagnostic and functional assays towards understanding the
molecular, cellular and genetic events involved in the formation and
progression of gynecologic diseases. You design, optimize and perform
procedures and protocols that cross and connect scientific disciplines at the
fully operational level. You will also consult with Dr, Memarzadeh and
scientific literature to find and bring new ideas to the lab. Additional
responsibilities will include also taking on a portion of the lab management
duties, including supply management, ordering and equipment upkeep, and
coordinate general lab support activities. You will also help obtain and
process human samples from operating rooms at UCLA.
