Positions are available for highly motivated graduate students and postdocs wishing to study one-carbon metabolism, gut microbiota and genetic variations as determinants of health and disease. Our research program utilizes animal models and human studies to answer questions from genetic, epigenetic, physiologic, metabolic and microbiome perspectives. Commonly used techniques include Western blotting, RT-PCR, bisulfite sequencing, LC-MS/MS, ELISA, 16S rRNA sequencing, gross dissections and micro-dissections.
Interested applicants should email a letter of interest to the Principal Investigator, Dr. Clara E Cho claracho@uoguelph.ca that includes a CV and statement outlining their research interests.
