About
Study how cells and organisms sense and adapt to oxygen and vitamin or cofactor levels, and how mismatches in supply and demand drive disease. Building on the lab's finding that chronic hypoxia can treat mitochondrial disease, postdocs use CRISPR screens, metabolomics, classical biochemistry and molecular biology and animal physiology to find new enzyme and cofactor functions and nutrient-based therapies.
Requirements
PhD in metabolism, animal physiology, molecular biology, biochemistry, genomics or a related field. Curiosity, self-motivation and the independence to design new research directions with PI input.
