Details of Research Project:

Our laboratory focuses on exploring and evaluating the complexity of molecular signaling crosstalk between cells in the kidney. We seek highly motivated and exceptionally creative candidate to lead a cutting-edge research project that aims to examine molecular mechanisms in the glomerulus that result in diabetic and non-diabetic kidney disease progression. The project will focus on exploring the key functional mechanisms of glomerular cell function and to validate the complex relationship between glomerular endothelial cells and podocytes. The project will also examine the genetic susceptibility to developing progressive kidney disease and applying gene editing tools for potential curative therapies.

Technical Duties:

• Design, set-up and run cell biological projects.
• Experience with protein chemistry, purification, and characterization
• Meticulous data documentation and organizational skills
• Experience giving presentations of research findings to other members of the scientific community.
