We are an interdisciplinary team studying fundamental questions about biological organization and its biomedical implications. Prospective graduate students or postdoctoral trainees with experience -- or interests -- in combining experimental and computational methods are encouraged to contact us. Although we are not seeking for a particular background, training in cancer, immunology, quantitative biology, or experimental physics would be a great fit. Experience with in vitro culture of cells and organoids, quantitative microscopy, in vivo models, molecular and synthetic biology, or immunology will help.
As part of NYU's Center for Genomics & Systems Biology we are located in the Greenwich Village neighborhood of Lower Manhattan, New York City, right by Washington Square Park. We are currently welcoming students and postdocs to join our laboratory:
- Postdoctoral Fellows: Please email Carlos with your CV, a brief description of research interests, future plans, and why our lab is a good fit for you. Also please provide letters or contacts of 3 references. Generic applications will be ignored.
- Graduate Students: Prospective Graduate Students can apply to our lab through the NYU's Biology PhD Program as well as through the Developmental Genetics PhD Training Program, from NYU School of Medicine.
- Undergraduate Students: At the moment we are not taking more undergraduate students because the lab is full. If and when we start taking applications again, students will need to commit to stay for at least 1 year (including the summer) in the lab. This commitment is to allow sufficient time to learn research techniques, integrate to the our team, and to yield progress in research projects. Undergraduate students can receive research credits. Excellent grades and a passion for research are a must. Please email Carlos your CV, grade transcripts, and a statement of your research motivations and why our lab. Generic applications will be ignored.
