A postdoctoral position is available in the laboratory of Dr. Sophie Astrof at Thomas Jefferson University to study roles of cell-extracellular matrix interactions during cardiovascular development and disease. My laboratory utilizes genetics, cell biology and confocal imaging to elucidate developmental and molecular mechanisms of aortic arch artery patterning and the formation of the cardiac outflow[…]

A postdoctoral position is immediately available at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus in Aurora, Colorado in David Clouthier’s lab to study molecular mechanisms regulating facial morphogenesis. The laboratory is currently investigating the molecular and cellular functions of basic helix-loop-helix transcription factors and non-coding RNAs in facial development, with an emphasis on understanding the[…]

A postdoctoral position is available in J.P. Masly’s lab at the University of Oklahoma (www.maslylab.com) to study the genetic, developmental, and evolutionary bases of morphological variation among Drosophila species. Our research focuses on understanding how evolutionary change at the genetic level directs variation in development that gives rise to species-specific phenotypic differences. The successful candidate[…]

3-D Retina Organoid Challenge to spur breakthroughs in treating blinding diseases The National Eye Institute (NEI), part of the National Institutes of Health, has opened the first stage of a federal prize competition designed to generate miniature, lab-grown human retinas. The retina is the light- sensitive tissue in the back of the eye. Over the[…]

Here are the highlights from the current issue of Development: Btbd7 branches out across multiple organs Dynamic changes in epithelial cell-cell adhesion and motility are crucial for branching morphogenesis – the process by which highly branched epithelial organs, such as the lung and kidney, grow and develop from a simple epithelial bud. Although many[…]

An NIH-funded postdoctoral position is available to investigate the signaling functions of retinoic acid (RA) during mouse embryo development. Our laboratory has reviewed recent advances in this field: Cunningham, T.J. and Duester, G. Mechanisms of retinoic acid signalling and its roles in organ and limb development. Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology 16: 110-123 (2015). […]
