Brigham and Women's Hospital
Postdoctoral Research Fellow – Vascular Biology, cardiovascular disease
Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts, us, 02298
A postdoctoral research fellow position is available at Brigham and Women’s Hospital/ Harvard Medical School, Boston. The laboratory's research is interested in understanding the role of non-coding RNAs (miRNAs/lncRNAs) and their signaling pathways/targets in a range of vascular disease states including atherosclerosis and ischemic injury in the heart and limb with a major focus in diabetes. The specific projects deal with understanding the mechanisms and functions of identified non-coding RNAs in cell types important to cardiovascular disease and diabetes such as endothelial cells, vascular smooth muscle cells, and leukocyte subsets. Studies will involve understanding specific aspects of non-coding RNAs and target gene function in vitro and in vivo using mouse knockout, knockdown, or overexpression studies, and translational assessment in human specimens.
