These studies will use state-of-the-art genomic methods and include multiple hospitals in Texas and Massachusetts. The successful candidate will work with the principal investigators on developing the clinical trial protocol, manage the IRB submission process and work with colleagues here and in Boston on carrying out the trial. This individual will be responsible for overseeing the clinical trials associated with the Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF) Crazy 8 grant (entering Year 2 of a four-year project) and the CPRIT INSPECT grant (entering Year 1 of a three-year project).

They will also assist with the preparation and submission of annual progress reports to ALSF and CPRIT. This position is supported by two grants focused on newborn cancer risk screening through genomic sequencing, both of which include clinical trial components. The ALSF grant encompasses a larger trial and will fund 65% of the position, while the CPRIT grant will support the remaining 35%.
