Postdocs

  • As a postdoc, it is essential to have a strong sense of independent thinking and enthusiasm to lead cutting-edge projects. These qualities not only demonstrate your ability to take the initiative but also show that you are dedicated to advancing your field of study. You will be expected to work closely with our team and collaborate with others, but ultimately, it will be up to you to drive your research forward and make meaningful contributions to the scientific community. Therefore, with hard work, perseverance, and passion for your work, you can make a real impact!

    To apply, please email the following to Gio (PDF format preferred):

    1. A cover letter that summarizes your research experience, explaining which project(s) you are proposing/interested in and why.

    2. Your Curriculum vitae, including the list of publications.

    3. Name and contact information for three references.

Graduate Students

  • Our work is quite diverse and requires a combination of skills from different fields, such as molecular biology, biochemistry, classical genetics, bioinformatics, and advanced imaging. To become a successful scientist in our team, you should be prepared to become a multidisciplinary scientist! All projects are expected to be related to our primary research program, but as you develop your interests, you will always be encouraged to contribute to the project development.

    Brown Ph.D. students who want to rotate with us, please email Gio, including a summary of her research interests. Even better, knock on his door!
