H3 Biomedicine seeks to recruit an outstanding postdoctoral candidate in structural biology. Our major area of research is RNA splicing in cancer. We have developed tool molecules targeting aberrant splicing in SF3B1 mutant cancers. Our goal is to understand the structural basis for aberrant splicing in this mutant background and use the tool molecules as a platform for structure based drug design.
