Together with Seven Bridges Genomics, we have been awarded a National Cancer Institute grant to coordinate data sharing and analysis for the PDXNet. We are working with esteemed collaborators at institutes including MD Anderson, the Huntsman Institute at the University of Utah, Baylor College of Medicine, the Wistar Institute, and Washington University. For this project we will be analyzing hundreds of new and existing PDX samples toward the goal of developing a clinical trial based on patient-derived xenografts.

The Chuang Lab at JAX-GM is seeking scientists to join our projects in cancer genomics and evolution. We are a computational lab that works closely with multiple experimental colleagues to study tumor evolution and resistance to therapy. We commonly compare treated and untreated samples through analysis of sequencing data (exome, RNA-seq, single cell, targeted sequencing, etc.). Our projects take advantage of JAX’s strengths in patient-derived xenografts, a powerful model system in which human tumors are engrafted and studied in immunocompromised mice. JAX has developed >400 such tumors, which we are characterizing extensively via genomics and clinical perturbations at an institutional level. New team members will have unique opportunities to investigate mechanisms of cancer from these types of data, to design new studies, and to take advantage of cloud computing approaches for large scale data analysis. Particular areas of emphasis include gastric cancer, breast cancer, and immunotherapy. The ideal candidate will have prior expertise in cancer genomics, computational biology, or molecular evolution. Outstanding candidates transitioning from another quantitative discipline such as applied math, physics, or computer science will be considered, though they would be expected to be highly motivated and rapidly become expert in cancer genomics. Strong computing (programming, large scale data analysis, statistical inference, etc), publication, and communication skills are essential. Interested applicants should send a CV and a research statement to Jeffrey Chuang at jeff.chuang@jax.org. Reference letters will be requested subsequently.
