NCCR Children & Cancer

The Morscher Laboratory works at the intersection of pediatric oncology and fundamental research in metabolism. Stable isotope tracing is a core methodology of the lab – applied across cell culture, animal models, and directly in patients to map metabolic fluxes at quantitative resolution. We combine this with single‑cell metabolomics, RNA mass spectrometry, and proteomics to decode metabolic programs from the whole organism down to the single cell – and to translate these insights into new treatment strategies for children with cancer.

Your responsibilities

• You will lead the day‑to‑day operations of the MS platform, including scheduling, quality control and sample throughput across metabolomics, isotope tracing and other MS‑omics workflows.
• In this role, you drive method development for LC‑MS/MS‑based stable isotope tracing, metabolomics, RNA modifications and lipid analysis, including applications to in vivo and...
