The Hwang Lab in the Department of Pathology at the University of Pittsburgh seeks full-time Research Specialists at varying levels.

Our current research focuses on the role of abnormal mRNA processing in human disease. We combine powerful in vivo high-throughput profiling methods and CRISPR technology with genetically modified mouse models of human disease to identify candidate mRNA isoforms that may contribute to disease pathogenesis in specific cell types in vivo.
