The UBC Department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology has training programs at the undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate levels, and pursues research to make innovative advancements in knowledge and translate it to practice to improve health. The Department consists of more than 300 physicians and scientists as well as over 50 administrative, research, and technical staff. Specialty training programs are offered in gynaecologic oncology, maternal fetal medicine, reproductive endocrinology and infertility, as well as advanced training programs in endometriosis, pelvic pain and advanced laparoscopic surgery, family planning, vulvovaginal health and female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery.
Applicants must submit all document in PDF format only, including:
Around 10% of biologically female individuals will be affected by endometriosis over their lifetime. There is a heritable aspect to endometriosis with some relationship to ancestry and the highest reported rates of endometriosis are in Asian populations where > 15% of women are affected. The drivers of this common chronic gynecologic condition are poorly understood, particularly in non-Whites and with respect to the relationship between heritable and non-heritable features.
Endometriosis is a major cause of pain and infertility in women, is associated with significant financial burden, and multiple comorbidities including pain syndromes, inflammatory and immune conditions, anxiety, depression, and significantly increased risk of certain types of ovarian cancer. Endometriosis lesions often harbour (non-heritable) mutations in cancer-associated genes at rates much higher than would be expected if they were associated exclusively with malignant progression. While it is expected that these cancer-mutations play a role in endometriosis pathology the prevalence and functions are poorly understood.
The goal of this project will be to catalogue the spectrum of somatic, non-heritable mutations in endometriosis across White, Asian, Black, and Hispanic individuals and to identify diagnostic and therapeutic opportunities associated with specific mutations. Altered genes and pathways associated with somatic mutation may represent novel opportunities for personalized treatment based on the specific landscape of an individual's disease.
**Expected Duties and Work to Be Performed**:
Lead the generation and analysis of molecular data including NGS and histopathology from endometriosis specimens.
Wet bench experiments including tissue staining, microscopy, manual and laser-capture microdissection
Nucleic acid extraction, PCR based methods, and NGS library preparation
Co-ordination of immunohistochemistry (IHC), interpretation of histopathology including identification of epithelial and mesenchymal cell types and staining patterns
Analysis of NGS data and integration with other sources such as histopathological data, clinical, data, etc.
Maintain research records in lab books and approved, secure, digital repositories
Participate in a positive and co-operative research and learning environment:
Interact with lab members and peers daily and in weekly lab meetings
Participate in training and teaching initiatives such as summer student or co-op student supervision.
Be able to teach lab peers about methods being employed in your research
Present research results and their potential impact at lab meetings, hospital rounds, local and international meetings
Provide a positive and inclusive example to peers through interactions with lab members and neighbours, sharing lab duties, attending local seminars, and participation community engagement initiatives (live and virtual)
**Contribute to development of the research team**:
Attend meetings to help define strategy, goals, and lo40gistics of research projects
**Qualifications**:
A doctoral (PhD or Equivalent) degree in a related discipline such as Genetics, Cancer, or Molecular Pathology.
Experience working with next-generation sequencing (NGS) data, specific experience in generating mutation and DNA copy number data.
Experience with NGS data having UMI or Duplex sequencing methods is an asset.
Experience with genomic methods including sequencing, NGS library preparation, molecular cloning, immunology, and histopathology are required.
