Description
The main research interests in the Wu Lab are to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying the development, disease, and senescence of heart cells, and to develop potential therapeutic strategies to rectify pathogenesis and aging in the heart. We utilize a human-induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSCs) platform and cutting-edge molecular, cellular, and physiological technologies to study the biology of heart cells in health and disease, and to discover novel drugs and approaches for translational applications. More information about the studies in the Wu lab can be found here: https://www.wulab.pitt.edu Main Postdoc Duties The research of the Postdoctoral Associate in the Vascular Medicine Institute will focus on understanding how the genetic and environmental factors contribute to the pathogenesis of human cardiac disease risks with human-induced pluripotent stem cell platforms. The postdoc is expected to receive work assignments and instructions from Dr. Haodi Wu and will be responsible to learn the scientific progress in the relevant fields, designing and conducting experiments, collecting and interpreting data, organizing results into written manuscripts, applying for postdoc fellowships, and preparing oral or poster presentations for internal and external research conferences. Minimum Requirements - PhD in Molecular biology, Cell biology, physiology, bioinformatics, and relevant field with experience in stem cell, cardiac physiology/biochemistry, cardiovascular disease, GWAS data analysis, and Multi-omics studies. Interested applicants should apply via join.pitt.edu requisition #25005610
