Postdoctoral Fellow position at
UT Health School of Medicine, San Antonio, Texas
The laboratory of Dr. Yogesh Gupta (http://ccri.uthscsa.edu/YGupta.html) at the University of Texas Health
at San Antonio is seeking an enthusiastic Postdoctoral Fellow to study
structures and function of RNA modification and chromatin remodeling complexes.
We use structural biology (X-ray, NMR, cryo-EM) and cell-based methods to
address basic mechanistic questions in viral pathogenesis and pediatric cancers. Gupta laboratory provides a
rich multi-disciplinary training environment and access to cutting-edge
technologies in structural biology and drug development.
