The Naba Lab at the University of Illinois at Chicago is looking for an outstanding postdoctoral fellow. The successful candidate will join a young, dynamic and collaborative research team and lead a project employing a wide range of approaches (mouse genetics, cell biology, proteomics, and bioinformatics) to study the role of the extracellular matrix in cancer metastasis and developmental biology.

Highlights:
• The matrisome is defined as the ensemble of 1000 + genes encoding ECM and ECM-associated proteins.
• Bioinformatic and experimental approaches to study the ECM/matrisome are discussed.
• We introduce a novel website and database MatrisomeDB to centralize resources on the matrisome.
• We present a draft of an ECM atlas compiling proteomics data on the ECM of 14 different tissues and tumors.
• “Omics” data provide novel insights into ECM functions in development, homeostasis and disease.
