Responsibilities
This project aims to investigate the genomic, molecular, and epigenetic mechanisms driving the progression of pulmonary fibrosis and lung diseases
Using integrative transcriptomic, epigenomic, proteomic, and bioinformatic analyses, the goal is to identify key signaling pathways and potential therapeutic targets
The laboratory is embedded within an interdisciplinary research environment and is equipped with state-of-the-art facilities for molecular and cellular biology, chromatin biology, and drug and gene therapy development
The research will involve close collaboration with scientists from complementary disciplines and will utilize in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo mouse models to study vascular cell and fibroblast cross-talk and dysfunction, as well as the epigenetic mechanisms underlying inflammatory and cardiopulmonary vascular diseases in small and large animal studies
Approaches include advanced techniques in transcriptomics, chromatin and epigenomic profiling, and proteomics to comprehensively characterize disease mechanisms and inform therapeutic innovation
The successful candidate will lead original research aimed at elucidating the molecular mechanisms of gene transcription and cell signaling in both physiological and disease contexts
This includes the application of molecular and cellular biology techniques, chromatin biology, genomic sequencing technologies, and the use of animal models
In addition to conducting research, the candidate will provide technical training and mentorship to junior scientists, ensuring the development of strong experimental and analytical skills within the team
They will also coordinate collaborative studies with partnering laboratories to advance project objectives and foster interdisciplinary innovation
