Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis
A Post-doctoral position is available immediately for PhD and/or MD scientists interested in studying molecular mechanisms of tissue injury, repair and fibrosis in the kidney.
Our Lab (www.herrlichlab.org) is particularly interested in kidney-released growth factors, cytokines and their receptors that control injury and repair in the kidney and that are involved in organ-to-organ crosstalk, such as the kidney-lung or kidney-heart axis, both of which drive significant heart and lung pathology associated with acute kidney injury/fibrosis clinically.
We are defining critical components of the involved cell types and signaling mediators/pathways using a combination of cell-ba
A successful applicant should have a recent PhD or equivalent research experience if an MD. Applicants must have shown productivity demonstrated by scientific publications. Minimum requirements include expertise in a variety of cell culture, protein and molecular biological techniques. Expertise in animal studies is preferred but not required. Washington University offers salaries commensurate with experience and ba
