Next Lives at the University of Cincinnati

Founded in 1819, the University of Cincinnati ranks among the nation’s best urban public research universities. Home to more than 53,600 students, 12,000 faculty and staff, and over 360,000 living alumni, UC, a Carnegie 1 institution, combines research prowess with a physical setting. The New York Times has called “the most ambitious campus design program in the country.” UC's momentum has never been stronger as the anchor of the Cincinnati Innovation District, the oldest cooperative education (co‑op) program in the country with students earning $94 million annually through paid experiences, an academic health system, and as a member of the Big 12 Conference.

The university contributes $10.6 billion in economic impact to the city and $22.7 billion to the state of Ohio. At UC, next is all of us. Learn more .

The Department of Internal Medicine, Division of Hematology Oncology is recruiting for a Postdoctoral fellow to work in Dr. Sarah Skuli’s Lab.

The Skuli Lab is a basic/translational laboratory with a goal of developing new therapeutic strategies for patients with myeloid malignancies [acute myeloid leukemia (AML), myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS)], particularly those with mutations in the tumor suppressor, TP53, which currently portends a terminal prognosis. To achieve this goal, we aim to understand the molecular/cellular biology and mechanisms of therapy resistance of TP53 mutant MDS/AML with a particular focus on metabolism and the tumor microenvironment.
