The Regnier Lab invites applications for a postdoctoral fellow to join our cutting-edge research on gene & cell therapy for heart disease. This position offers an exciting opportunity to develop genome-edited induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) lines and collaborate closely with expert animal surgeons and physiologists to perform cell transplantations into rodent heart models. This early-stage translational research will equip the candidate with a unique, interdisciplinary skill set, enhancing their career in the field of next generation cardiac therapies. As a member of our team, you will work at the forefront of gene & cell therapy, spanning human iPSC culture and differentiation into cardiomyocytes, precision gene editing, advanced rat model studies, tissue histology, cardiac physiology, and molecular biology. This role is ideal for a driven scientist eager to make an impact in cardiovascular medicine and stem cell research. To apply, please send a statement of your research interests and a CV to Mike Regnier (mregnier@uw.edu) and Silvia Marchianò (marchias@uw.edu). Join us in advancing the future of heart disease therapy!
The Marcinek and Regnier labs have an opening for a NIA funded postdoctoral fellow to identify the role of mitochondrial dysfunction in intercellular communication and contractile dysfunction in the aging heart. The successful applicant will work to develop cell models of cardiac aging and work with mouse models to test whether elevating mitophagy reverses inflammatory signaling and post-translational regulation of calcium and sarcomeric proteins. The successful applicant will work with the Marcinek lab to study mitochondrial biology and the Regnier lab to test how post-translational modifications modify calcium dynamics and cardiac mechanics. Interested applicants should send a statement of research interests and a CV to Dave Marcinek at dmarc@uw.edu.
The Marcinek lab has an opening for a postdoctoral fellow to study the mechanisms of mitochondrial aging in skeletal muscle and heart. The successful applicant will work on a collaborative project with the Bruce lab to use quantitative protein interactomics to identify novel mitochondrial pathways that contribute declining tissue function and healthspan with age. The successful applicant will work across mouse tissues, human samples, and genetic manipulation of cell models of aging and combine bioinformatics, mitochondrial biology, and skeletal and cardiac physiology. Interested applicants should send a statement of research interests and a CV to Dave Marcinek at dmarc@uw.edu.
