Lab Focus and Environment The Gill Lab investigates the crosstalk between tumor cells and neurons, with a focus on how these interactions alter cortical circuit function, neuroplasticity, and tumor progression. We work at the intersection of cancer biology and systems neuroscience, with a direct line to clinical translation. The lab is well-funded, collaborative, and embedded in a rich interdisciplinary environment
with active partnerships across the Departments of Neurology, Neuropathology, Neuroscience, and Systems Biology. Relevant publications from the lab: · Goldberg et al. Neuron 2025 — Glioma-induced alterations in excitatory neurons are reversed by mTOR inhibition. · Gill et al. Brain 2022 — Single unit analysis and
wide-field imaging reveal alterations in excitatory and inhibitory neurons in glioma. · Gill et al. Neurobiology of Disease 2020 — Ex vivo multi-electrode analysis reveals spatiotemporal dynamics of ictal behavior at the infiltrated margin of glioma. Position Summary We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral research scientist to train with Dr. Brian Gill. Candidates will train in and
ultimately lead projects investigating the electrophysiologic and molecular alterations in peritumoral neurons, the mechanisms underlying tumor-neuron cross talk and the therapeutic targeting of these targets with a path toward clinical translation. Responsibilities: · Lead and contribute to projects elucidating tumor-induced alterations to cortical circuit function ·
Train in, design and execute in vivo electrophysiologic experiments using implanted intracranial electrodes in murine glioma models. · Integrate multimodal datasets to link transcriptomic and electrophysiologic alterations in per
