Description:
The Melero-Martin laboratory seeks highly motivated post-doctoral research fellows to investigate the mechanism by which vascular networks are formed from pluripotent stem cells and to develop novel approaches to therapeutic vascularization and tissue regeneration. We are also looking for candidates to study the use of fate-determining transcription factors to generate human vascularized organoids. Current NIH-funded (R01) projects at the Melero-Martin lab include: 1) Enhancing endothelial cell engraftment via transplantation of exogenous mitochondria, 2) Regulation of endothelial cell specification, 3) Vascular networks genetically engineered for protein drug delivery, and 4) Human endothelial cell regulation of ossification. All work will involve human stem cell culture, molecular biology, and mouse xenograft models.
Requirements:
Ph.D., Sc.D., or equivalent degree (or soon to be completed)
A record of innovative publications (first-authored publications in peer-reviewed journals)
Experience with stem cell culture, molecular biology, and animal models is highly desirable
Independent in scientific research and writing, self-motivated, and ethical
Excellent communication and organizational skills
Strong interest in regenerative medicine
