Safety Specialist I
SBP is a preeminent, independent biomedical research institute dedicated to understanding human biology and disease, and advancing scientific discoveries to profoundly impact human health.
A RESEARCH ASSISTANT I/II position is available in the laboratory of Dr. Peter Adams.
Dr. Adams’ lab investigates the impact of chromatin and epigenetics on cellular senescence, aging and cancer. The lab hypothesizes that age-associated changes in chromatin and epigenetic programming contribute to the dramatic age-associated increase in incidence of cancer. While age is the biggest single risk factor for most cancers, the reason for this is current poorly understood. The specific project will involve discovery and development of novel drug therapies for Acute Myeloid Leukemia. There will be tremendous opportunities to learn state-of-the-art biological concepts and techniques, in a collaborative, dynamic and exciting research environment.

The Research Assistant in the Adams lab will be learning new biology and technologies, as well as applying existing knowledge to procedures and bench-work.
