Research Associate/Postdoctoral Researcher for Interdisciplinary and Translational Research that Integrates Pharmacology, Biology, and Computational Modeling to Facilitate Development of More Efficacious Drug Therapies for Brain Cancer
Karmanos Cancer Institute, Wayne State University School of Medicine, Detroit, MI, USA
Applications are invited for a Research Associate/Postdoctoral Researcher position available at Karmanos Cancer Institute, Wayne State University (Detroit, MI, USA). This is a non-tenure track position, supported by a National Cancer Institute (NCI) funded R01 grant for three years. The goal is to help the postdoctoral researcher to grow and transit into an indepen¬dent principal investigator.
Applications are strongly encouraged for candidates with strong mathematical and computational background who are interested in career development opportunities in the interdisciplinary and translational research that integrates biology, pharmacology, mathematics, and computational modeling to facilitate development of more effective drug therapies for brain cancer.
The postdoctoral researcher will be mentored jointly by Dr. Jing Li (Professor of Oncology and Director of Pharmacology and Metabolomics Core at Karmanos Cancer Institute), Dr. Seongho Kim (Professor and Director of Biostatistics and Bioinformatic Core), and Dr. Hengguang Li (Professor of Mathematics and Chair of Department of Mathematics at Wayne State University).
The postdoctoral researcher will work on a NCI-funded R01 project with the overall goal to develop novel mechanistic, physiologically based pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics (PBPK/PD) models for prediction of drug disposition and action in the central nervous system (CNS) in brain cancer patients. Insufficient penetration of potentially effective chemotherapeutic agents across the human blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a huge hurdle to successful treatment of brain cancer. Mechanistic understanding and early prediction of drug penetration into the human CNS is of paramount importance to rational drug development and treatment for brain cancer. Given the fact that drug disposition and action in the human CNS is determined by not only drug properties but also biological system characteristics, preclinical-to-clinical translation of CNS PK/PD is complicated by biological system differences. Hence, the development of innovative approaches is imperative. The in vitro-in vivo extrapolation-PBPK/PD model offers a unique platform that allows simultaneous incorporation of drug- and system-specific parameters into a PK/PD model and enables a priori prediction of in vivo PK/PD processes based on mechanistic scaling of in vitro data (e.g., in vitro enzyme and transporter kinetics, and receptor binding parameters). Our research has been focused on the development of innovative computational models for mechanistic prediction of disposition and action (i.e., PK/PD) of anticancer drugs in the CNS in brain cancer patients. The obtained quantitative information is of enormous value to rational development and optimal use of drug therapies for more efficacious treatment of brain cancer.
A PhD in computational mathematics, computer science, or a related discipline is required. Expertise in R or Matlab is preferred. Knowledge of biology, medicine, or pharmacology is an advantage, though not a requirement. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race. Interested candidates should apply by sending the application letter and curriculum vita to Dr. Jing Li (lijing@wayne.edu). Applications will be considered until the position is filled. The intended start date is September 1. 2023. An earlier or later start date may be considered. Questions should be directed to Dr. Jing Li.

PhD student in microbiology and PKPD mathematical modelling
Organization/company: Location: INSERM U1070, Poitiers Country: France Website: https://phar.labo.univ-poitiers.fr/ Mandatory degree: Master 2 Application deadline: 11th June 2023 Starting date: 01/09/2023 Type of contract: Full-time 3 years Funding: ANR/JPIAMR programs Net salary: approximately 1650 €/month
Offer Description :
The candidate will work on two international collaborative projects DeCa-P (1) and STARS-TAP (2). These international projects will involve extensive collaboration with the microbiology team of Christian Lesterlin and Sarah Bigot in Lyon, France (3).
In DeCa-P, we aim to better understand emergence of multi-drug resistant bacteria through study of plasmidic transfer. More precisely we aim to find genetic and environmental factors influencing the plasmidic transfer abilities and rate. To do so, we will focus on the pOXA-48a conjugative plasmid that encodes an OXA-family carbapenemase responsible for carbapenem resistance among Enterobacteriaceae.
In STARS-TAP, plasmids rather than being foes are turned into friends. Indeed, Targeted-Antibacterial-Plasmids (4) (TAPs) are plasmids that use DNA conjugation to deliver CRISPR/Cas systems to specifically target and kill specific bacterial strains based on their genome. If successful, the use of TAPs would enable preventive removal of strains harboring drug-resistance strains from microbiomes.
In this project the candidate will have two main tasks: 1) perform in vitro microbiology experiments (MIC, time-kill curves) where the effect of antibiotics on plasmidic transfer ability and rate (DeCa-P) and evaluate the combined efficacy of TAPs with antibiotics (STARS-TAP); 2) develop mathematical models to quantify plasmidic transfer rates, genetic and environmental impact on these rates, TAPs + antibiotic efficacy. The models will be based on in vitro data generated in both projects by the candidate and the project partners.
The successful candidate will be part of our research unit affiliated to the University of Poitiers and INSERM. We are a transversal group created in 2012 with the aim to optimize antibiotic usage through collaboration between microbiologists, pharmacologists, pharmacometricians, drug formulation researchers, cellular biologists, chemical analysts and clinicians.
We are developing innovative pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic (PKPD) modelling approaches to select the best dosing regimen of antibiotics administered alone or in combination as well as the best route of administration and best formulation. We conduct translational research, from cell culture to patients, by integrating microbiology, analytical chemistry, drug formulation, and in vivo preclinical experiments.
