Funded Post Doctoral Positions in the Conlon Lab
Posted by Frank Conlon, on 3 May 2019
Closing Date: 15 March 2021
Fully funded postdoctoral positions are presently available in the Conlon Lab, whose studies focus on identifying the molecular networks that are essential for early heart development and how alterations in these networks lead to congenital heart disease and sexual dimorphism. For these studies, we use a highly integrated approach that incorporates developmental, genetic, proteomic, biochemical and molecular-based studies in mouse, Xenopus and stem cells.
Recent advances and projects of interest in the Conlon lab include studies that define the cellular and molecular events that lead to cardiac septation, those that explore cardiac interaction networks as determinants of transcriptional specificity, the mechanism and function of cardiac transcriptional repression networks, and the regulatory networks of cardiac sexual dimorphism.
