Postdoctoral associate positions are available in the laboratory of Dr. Huang-Ge Zhang in the Brown Cancer Center at the University of Louisville, Kentucky, USA.
We are seeking a full-time post-doctoral researcher for a 5-year NIH-funded project aiming to develop edible plant exosomes like nanoparticles (ELNs) based immune therapy for cancer and autoimmune disease. The lab also explores the cellular and molecular mechanisms by which the ELNs inhibit cancer to advance and brain neurodegeneration, emphasizing gut microbiota metabolites mediated cancer metastasis, microglial mitochondrial pathology, metabolism, and immune response. We use a combination of in vitro cell culture, in vivo transgenic/knockout animal models.
Required Qualifications:
A PhD or MD degree in immunology, biochemistry, molecular biology, microbiology or other medical research related fields is required. Previous working experience in mouse models, mitochondria, microbiome, and nanoparticles involving the brain, liver, lung or gutdisease is highly desired.
Commensurate with experience. Provide competitive salary with excellent fringe benefits. The living cost in Louisville is very affordable.
Interested individuals should send a cover letter, CV, and the names/phone numbers of three people who could provide letters of reference by email to:
Huang-Ge Zhang, h0zhan17@louisville.edu or yun.teng@louisville.edu
