Faculty Sponsor (Last, First Name): Gu, Wei
Stanford Departments and Centers: Pathology
Postdoc Appointment Term: 1 year with optional to renew
Appointment Start Date: flexible
Group or Departmental Website: http://cfna.stanford.edu
How to Submit Application Materials: weigu@stanford.edu
POSITION:
The Gu Lab seeks to train a postdoctoral fellow interested in new minimally invasive approaches for molecular diagnostics. The ideal candidate will have a sufficient quantitative background to carry out computational data analysis.
Expertise with next-generation sequencing, assay automation, and molecular experimental techniques will be helpful.
The candidate will have the chance to gain experience within molecular diagnostics, emphasizing ‘liquid biopsy’ cell-free DNA biomarkers, and next-generation sequencing wet and dry lab techniques. Past applications have historically been related to cancer, prenatal, and infectious disease, but are not limited to these areas.
The Gu Lab is a multidisciplinary team that focuses on developing and translating new molecular technologies to advance less invasive and early diagnostics for the benefit of future patients.
As part of the Stanford Department of Pathology, the lab is closely affiliated with the clinical laboratories and within the same building as the Molecular Genetic Pathology and the Clinical Genomics Laboratories. Dr. Gu is a board-certified Molecular Pathologist in these laboratories.
We have access to next-generation sequencers, automation, and a large bank of biospecimens to develop and trial cutting-edge diagnostic technologies.
