POSTDOCTORAL POSITION available in the Department of Biochemistry and Microbiology at Rutgers University to study the molecular and cellular mechanisms of chromatin in circadian regulated gene expression using model organisms. For more information see http://aesop.rutgers.edu/~beldenlab. Recent Ph.D.s with a background in biochemistry, molecular biology, or bioinformatics are encouraged to apply. Applicants should have a strong publication track record and a high degree of productivity from their graduate studies. This is a perfect opportunity for someone with bioinformatics experience to expand his or her expertise into wet-bench research. If interested, please send a one page cover letter stating academic goals, a curriculum vitae, and contact information for three references to [email protected].

NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification, detection...10-30-2026, 06:46 AM -
Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?
Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM
