The Schwartz lab is interested in developing new methods and algorithms to understand the role of cellular heterogeneity in evolutionary responses to strong selection, such as the adaptive immune response and drug treatment in cancer. We are a new computational lab especially interested in the emergence of cells resistant to cancer treatment and how they interact with their microenvironment.
We are seeking a Postdoctoral Fellow for such projects as multi-omic integration and single-cell method development to improve diagnosis and treatment of cancer through precision medicine. By joining our lab, you will have the opportunity to work with and integrate data from cutting-edge technologies such as single-cell assays to create new tools to help scientists and clinicians understand, diagnose, and treat cancer. For more information on the types of tools we will develop, please visit https://schwartzlab-methods.github.io/
