The Logsdon Lab (logsdonlab.com) at the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral research fellow to design and engineer human artificial chromosomes for basic research and translational applications.
Human artificial chromosomes, or HACs, are DNA constructs that can form a functional centromere and be maintained as a mini-chromosome in the cell. They have many advantages over other gene therapy approaches because they provide genes to the cell without interfering with the host genome (like viruses do, for example). Dr. Logsdon has previously designed HACs with non-repetitive centromeres (Logsdon et al., Cell, 2019) and identified ways for them to form efficiently in human cells (Gambogi et al., Science, 2024). Dr. Logsdon is now seeking a postdoctoral research fellow to design new types of HACs that can carry genes that functionally complement genetic deficiencies in human cells.
