美国国家健康研究所癌症病毒微RNA博士后职位

Our group studies the functions of viral microRNAs in a tumorigenic virus in order to identify pathways instrumental to viral pathogenesis and potentially lead to discovery of novel anti-viral and anti-tumor targets. This work utilizes one of the largest databases of microRNA target profiling and sequence analysis. We have recently completed validation of a number of predicted microRNA target genes. Currently, we have validated over thirty human genes that are targeted by viral microRNAs which are awaiting further study.
