Description Position Summary: The Zaccara Lab in the Department of Systems Biology at Columbia University Irving Medical Center is seeking a Staff Associate I to investigate the regulation of YTHDF proteins in m6A mRNA degradation. Previous findings and preliminary data suggest that YTHDF proteins are the main drivers in m6A mRNA degradation. However, it remains unclear how these proteins can be switched on/off to regulate m6A in normal conditions and how this level of regulation could be dysregulated in disease. The Staff Associate I will employ state of the art and innovative CRISPR-Cas9 base editor screens in combination with advanced data analyses approaches and m6A mapping strategy to interrogate these YTHDF proteins with unprecedented throughput and resolution. Duties : Generation of innovative techniques to measure m6A and interrogate YTHDFs function: The Staff Associate I will use m6A mRNA mapping technologies such as Nanopore, GLORI, miCLIP to measure...
