There is an immediate opening for a research technician in Qi group at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute to look for exceptional researcher in Chemistry and Chemical Biology field. The Qi lab studies gene regulatory pathways using the emerging discipline of chemical biology. Successful candidates will work with an interdisciplinary team of scientists including medicinal chemists, biochemists, computational biologists, and cancer biologists to develop novel inhibitors of chromatin modifying enzymes, such as methyltransferases, demethylases as well as other epigenetic targets and transcription factors. The successful candidate will perform research that establish fundamental insights to cancer biology using novel small molecule inhibitors to gain mechanistic understanding in cancer therapy.  We expect that novel therapeutics for human clinical investigation will emerge directly from these efforts through academic/industry collaborations.

Located in Boston and the surrounding communities, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute brings together world renowned clinicians, innovative researchers and dedicated professionals, allies in the common mission of conquering cancer, HIV/AIDS and related diseases.
