Postdoctoral Training Opportunity - Vascular Biology
The Quaggin lab, based at the Feinberg Cardiovascular & Renal Research Institute in Chicago at Northwestern University, has one postdoctoral position opening now. The lab studies fundamental mechanisms of vascular signaling pathways and their role in development and diseases of specialized microvascular beds and lymphatics. Projects in the lab focus on diseases of the kidney and eye, including diabetic kidney disease, ischemia-reperfusion injury and glaucoma.
Postdoctoral scientists in the lab will conduct cutting-edge research in a protected, interactive, highly collaborative, and well-funded environment, with access to shared facilities, including sequencing, bioinformatics, imaging, metabolomics, nanotechnology, mouse genome engineering, and beyond.
