Stem Cell in Cardiac Repair
Edward T.H. Yeh, M.D., seeks highly motivated postdoctoral fellows for his laboratory to study the biology of human ES cells, iPS cells and adult stem cells in cardiac repair. Successful candidates will be able to work in a state of the art facility with small animal surgery suite, micro-CT, MRI and PET. Candidates must have a M.D. and/or Ph.D. degree in stem cell biology and have a strong publication record.
The successful candidate will be offered a salary.

Molecular Cardiology and Cardiovascular Physiology
The work in the Khakoo Laboratory is focused on understanding mechanisms of cardiotoxicity due to novel anti-cancer therapies. Our overall research paradigm is that clinical cardiotoxicities due to anti-cancer drugs can reveal novel biologic pathways that are relevant in cardiovascular physiology that were previously unexplored. Experiments designed to understand these pathways involving in vivo murine cardiac studies and in vitro work, is focused on gaining mechanistic insight for the dual purpose of developing strategies to prevent cardiotoxicity due to targeted cancer therapies and for identifying novel targets for the treatment of non-cancer related heart disease.
We also work on microRNA regulation of gene expression in the failing heart, and have recently patented a novel microRNA signature that can predict outcomes in patients with heart failure.
Trainees can expect to get excellent training in cardiac physiology, in vitro cardiac stress models and techniques to study cell signaling and gene expression, along with the essential aspects of molecular biology and protein chemistry.
The successful candidate will be offered a competitive resource package and salary.
