TGen, the Translational Genomics Research Institute, is part of City of Hope. We are an Arizona-based, nonprofit medical research institute dedicated to conducting groundbreaking research with life-changing results. We work to unravel the genetic components of common and complex diseases, including cancer, neurodegenerative and neurological disorders, infectious disease, and rare childhood disorders. By identifying treatment options in this manner, we believe medicine becomes more rational, more precise and, well, more personal.

The projects in the Fryer lab focus on the molecular and cellular mechanisms of neurodegeneration and aging, in particular in Alzheimers disease and related dementias. Our translational research program aims to elucidate the underlying biological pathways and mechanisms, with a focus on the interface between the immune system and disease. For this we combine cutting edge bulk and single-cell RNAseq, long-read RNA/DNA sequencing, biochemistry, genetically engineered mouse models, and human patient and patient-derived tissue samples. We have a growing nanobody program as part of the newly established Center

for Accelerated Nanotherapeutics.

We are a human-centric organization that translates to our employees. Some of the perks in working for us:

BC/BS of Arizona health coverage.
Dental, Vision, Life, Short and Long Term Disability
Top notch EAP with a full scope of concierge type services
401k with 6% match
Generous time off
Commuter benefits
Much, much more!

City of Hope is a community of people characterized by our diversity of thought, background and approach, but tied together by our commitment to care for and cure those with cancer and other life-threatening diseases. The innovation that our diversity produces in the areas of research, treatment, philanthropy and education has made us national leaders in this fight. Our unique and diverse workforce provides us the ability to understand our patients' needs, deliver compassionate care and continue the quest for a cure for life-threatening diseases. At City of Hope, diversity and inclusion is a core value at the heart of our mission. We strive to create an inclusive workplace environment that engages all of our employees and provides them with opportunities to develop and grow, both personally and professionally. Each day brings an opportunity to strengthen our work, leverage our different perspectives and improve our patients’ experiences by learning from others. Diversity and inclusion is about much more than policies and campaigns. It is an integral part of who we are as an institution, how we operate and how we see our future.
