Job description

The Panaretakis Laboratory seeks a Postdoctoral Fellow to develop clinically actionable liquid biopsy strategies for the longitudinal monitoring of prostate cancer progression. The program focuses on extracellular vesicles to study disease evolution from localized hormone naïve prostate cancer through metastatic bone disease and therapy resistant states. This position integrates clinical cohorts, serial biospecimens, and experimental model systems to enable discovery, validation, and mechanistic interrogation of biomarkers with direct translational relevance.
All duties and responsibilities are carried out in compliance with institutional policies, ethical research standards, and applicable federal and state regulations.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
• Gain advanced training in prostate cancer biology across disease states, including bone metastatic progression.
• Develop expertise in extracellular vesicle biology and liquid biopsy assay development.
• Acquire skills in biomarker discovery, analytical validation, and translational deployment.
