Christian Medical College (CMC), Vellore, invites applications for a Post-Doctoral Fellowship in Clinical Haematology at its Ranipet campus. This ICMR-funded project focuses on overcoming chemoresistance in myeloid leukemia by studying the retinoid X receptor-A (RXRA) and its coregulators. An excellent career opportunity for candidates with expertise in cellular, molecular, and mouse model research. This prestigious opportunity provides exposure to cutting-edge translational research in leukemia biology, with a focus on overcoming drug resistance through advanced cellular and molecular approaches.
About the Institution
Christian Medical College (CMC) Vellore is one of India’s premier medical and research institutions, renowned for its pioneering contributions to medical education, research, and healthcare. The Department of Clinical Haematology is actively engaged in advanced research to improve patient outcomes in hematological malignancies.
Project Details
The fellowship is associated with an ICMR-funded translational research project that aims to address one of the significant clinical challenges in myeloid leukemia: chemoresistance.
Project: “Modulating retinoid X – receptor – A (RXRA) and its Coregulators to overcome Chemoresistance in myeloid leukemia”
The project aims to:
- Study the role of Retinoid X Receptor-A (RXRA) and its coregulators in drug resistance mechanisms.
- Identify novel therapeutic strategies to overcome resistance in myeloid leukemia.
- Employ advanced cellular, molecular, and mouse model systems for experimental validation.
- Translate laboratory findings into potential clinical applications for improving leukemia treatment outcomes.
Key Responsibilities
- Conduct independent and collaborative research on RXRA modulation in myeloid leukemia.
- Utilize cellular, molecular, and mouse model systems to investigate mechanisms of chemoresistance.
- Analyze and interpret experimental data, ensure proper documentation, and contribute to high-quality publications.
