Let’s Work Together
The lab is recruiting enthusiastic graduate students and postdocs interested in applying single-molecule and live imaging studies, and quantitative cell and developmental biology techniques in pursuit of a deeper understanding of cell fate choices.
Please contact me regarding positions. Graduate students must first be accepted into the DSCB, BMS, or OCS graduate program at UCSF.
