Jesse Handler: Defining a Transcriptomic Axis Underlying Metastatic Potential in PDAC and Other Carcinoma Subtypes

Jesse Handler, Assistant Professor at Emory University School of Medicine, shared a post on LinkedIn about a recent article he and his colleagues co-authored, adding:

“I am thrilled to share that our study defining a transcriptomic axis underlying metastatic potential in PDAC and across multiple other carcinoma subtypes was just published in Cell Reports.

Huge thanks to an amazing group of collaborators who made this possible.

This work started during my fellowship and reflects a core question that drives my new lab: how do cancer cells acquire metastatic competence, and how can we intercept it?

As my lab launches, we’re building on this biology using genome engineering, functional genomics, and computational approaches to translate metastatic mechanisms into therapeutic strategies.

We’re recruiting a postdoctoral fellow.

I’m looking for a curious, creative, and ambitious scientist excited by elegant regulatory biology, interdisciplinary work, and building something new with real clinical impact.

If this sounds like you (or someone you mentor), I’d love to connect.

Gregory Lesinski, Associate Director of Basic Research at Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University, shared this post, adding:

“Our new talented physician scientist Jesse Handler is recruiting a postdoc fellow to work in his lab on mechanisms of metastasis in pancreatic and colorectal cancer.

Please see his latest exciting publication in Cell Reports for a flavor of this effort!

A combination of great mentorship and impactful science awaits those interested.”
