WE ARE HIRING! 3-year funded Postdoctoral position open to study how cell migration contributes to organ formation during Drosophila embryogenesis. In particular, we are interested in understanding recently identified signaling checkpoints that ensure that cells migrating to wrong positions are eliminated through a specialized programmed cell death "Anoikis".
Frank Macabenta and Miriam Sun's recent study highlighted on the Caltech website: The signals that make cells self-destruct.
Vince and Jingjng's recent FGF study is highlighted in Sept. 2020 by the Caltech Breakthrough campaign A Cellular Coincidence and more recently in Feb. 2021 as Biomedical Image of the Day: New roles discovered for growth factor called Pyramus in development.
