What You Will Contribute to Altos
The Muñoz-Cánoves lab at Altos San Diego Institute of Science wants to unravel the biology of aging in the context of tissue communication and tissue rejuvenation programming and to help translate these findings into impactful new treatments. Our goal is to develop computational models to understand cellular reprogramming, the mechanistic basis of cellular rejuvenation, and to decipher the mechanism of cellular and tissular aging. The multi-scale computational models will aim to identify pathways, transcription factors, and molecules involved in aging and rejuvenation through the integration of multiple sources of biological information (e.g., transcriptomics, epigenomics, proteomics) to study biological processes at different levels of organization and guide researchers in the design of novel interventions and therapies. The successful candidate will collaborate with both internal and external experimental groups, lead or participate in planning experimental designs, author and contribute to biological and methodological manuscripts, and contribute to seminars and other scientific initiations within Altos as well as a wider scientific community. Your work will lead to the generation of public knowledge in the form of publications; intellectual property in the form of patents; and will directly shape Altos’ pre-clinical programs.Who You Are
