Description

Postdoctoral positions are available for highly motivated individualswho are interested in using mouse genetics to study the role of tumorsuppressor genes in the normal stem cell function and tumorigenesis inthe central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral nervous system (PNS).Identification of cancer stem cells in human cancer suggests thatalterations in the self-renewal program of stem cells can lead totumorigenesis. However, direct evidence for a stem cell, a progenitorcell, or a fully differentiated cell is the cell-of-origin for most ofhuman cancers is still lacking. By employing genetically engineeredmouse tumor models, we have provided evidence that both stem cells anddifferentiated cells can serve as a cell-of-origin for nervous systemtumors (Zhu et al. Cancer Cell, 2005; Zheng et al., Cancer Cell, 2008).We are exploring the recently developed mouse models to study: (1) howtumor suppressor genes regulate the stem cell function includingself-renewal, survival, differentiation and migration, (2) howinactivation of tumor suppressor genes transforms neural stem cells orendow differentiated cells with stem cell characteristics, and (3) hownormal stem cells or differentiated cells become cancer stem cells.Further details of current research can be found at http://www.med.umich.edu/cdb/sub_pages/People/zhu.htm.
