Postdoc in EpigeneticsWe are seeking a highly motivated and enthusiastic individual with excellent interpersonal skills to join Dr Yuya Ogawa's research team in the Division of Reproductive Sciences at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center. The Ogawa lab focuses on elucidating the molecular mechanism of long non-coding RNA-mediated epigenetic gene regulation using X-chromosome inactivation as a model system. (http://www.cincinnatichildrens.org/bio/o/yuya-ogawa/): (1) How is chromosome-wide silencing induced by long non-coding RNAs? (2) How is long-range silencing maintained and organized?
