Research Fellow - A/Prof Edward Chow
Job Description
Optimizing Immunotherapy Combinations Against Hepatocellular Carcinoma
The immunotherapy combination of atezolizumab–bevacizumab (AtezoBev) has been recently approved as first-line therapy in unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). As such, combinatorial immunotherapy has proven to be a promising approach towards treating HCC. However, the vast majority of HCC patients still do not benefit from AtezoBev with only 33.2% overall response (NEJM 2020). We have developed a complex system analytics platform that can identify optimal drug combinations in drug-resistant cancers and primary patient samples (Sci Trans Med 2018, Blood Cancer J 2020, JECCR 2022). By applying this platform towards HCC patient-derived avatars, we seek to develop optimized immunotherapy combinations as well as understand the molecular mechanisms that drive sensitivity and resistance to these combinations compared to AtezoBev in specific HCC subtypes.
Qualifications
We seek a highly motivated and innovative postdoctoral fellow with the ability to work independently and as part of a team. Candidates should have PhD and/or MD degree with a strong background in molecular biology and cell biology. Prior experience with using mouse models or patient-derived organoids to study cancer and/or immunology are preferred.
Applications should include cover letter, curriculum vitae, publication list, information on years of experience in research and laboratory work, and names and contact information of 2 referees (email and telephone numbers). Please also include a summary of your research experience.
Please submit your application to A/Prof. Edward Kai-Hua Chow, csikce@nus.edu.sg.

Research Fellow - Dr Dennis Kappei
We are seeking a highly motivated candidate as a research fellow in the Quantitative Proteomics Core in collaboration with the Kappei lab at the Cancer Science Institute of Singapore (CSI). Our team addresses research questions on nucleic acid-protein interactions with quantitative mass spectrometry, cell biological and genetic approaches applied to cancer research and we further support research activities at CSI as part of the Quantitative Proteomics Core with quantitative proteomics solutions to study protein expression, protein interactions as well as post-translational modifications.
Proteins are the functional agents in cells, yet the systematic global characterization of their expression and spatial distribution has largely remained limited to the analysis of RNA as a proxy. To close this gap, we have recently expanded the Quantitative Proteomics Core to Clinical Proteomics applications with dedicated instruments including a timsTOF fleX mass spectrometer that allows for dual LC-MS/MS and MALDI imaging analysis. The research fellow will develop innovative workflows for both untargeted and targeted spatial protein imaging applied to the analysis of cancer tissues. We are offering a position in a stimulating, diverse and international research environment as well as the opportunity to gain expertise in a highly demanded technology using state-of-the-art instruments.
Requirements:
- PhD in life sciences, chemistry, medicine or related fields
- Strong background and working knowledge of basic molecular and biochemical techniques
- Excellent communication skills and good team spirit
- Ability to solve problems independently

Research Fellow (Bioinformatician) - Dr Jason Pitt
The position of Postdoctoral Fellow (PDF) in computational cancer genomics is immediately available at The Cancer Science Institute of Singapore (The National University of Singapore). This PDF will lead a newly funded project in the laboratory of Dr. Jason Pitt that will explore how germline genetics and cell-of-origin contribute to genomic instability (GI) in cancer (see Pitt et al., 2018, Nat Comms; Pitt et al., 2018, Cancer Cell; Wang & Pitt et al., 2019, Int J Cancer). The acquisition of GI by malignant cells is critical to cancer development and progression. However, the magnitude and type of GI can vary widely across patients and cancer types. Delineating the underlying sources of GI will help identify novel therapeutic biomarkers (Pitt, Hoppe, & Jeyasekharan; PCT/SG2021/050105). The PDF will build upon our recently developed computational framework to derive dozens of GI scores and copy number signatures from tens of thousands of malignant samples. Using a multi-omic approach, these scores will be associated with clinical, genomic, and cell-type specific features. Candidate genes/variants will be investigated experimentally using CRISPR-mediated isogenic cell lines.
ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
- Processing and management of public genomic data (WES, RNAseq, SNP array, etc.)
- Develop methods to estimate CN-based GI scores and signatures
- Use innovative approaches to associate inherited variation with GI patterns
- Determine the relationship between GI patterns and phenotypic features
- Lead manuscript writing and software documentation
- This position is for 2-3 years with the possibility of extension
REQUIREMENTS
- PhD in human genetics, genomics, bioinformatics, or related fields
- Firm understanding of human genetics and association studies
- Experience analyzing cancer genomics data
- Strong Python and/or R programming skills
- Penchant for statistical reasoning
- Strong publication record
- Excellent written and spoken English
PREFERENCES
- Familiarity with copy number and mutation signature analysis
- Experience using Amazon Web Services or high-performance computing
