Rosemary Kelly Cardiac Regenerative Therapies Laboratory

About the Job:

We are seeking a highly-motivated scientific researcher who will be responsible for performing experiments with both an in vitro and in vivo model of ischemic cardiomyopathy. Our laboratory focuses on developing adjuvant stem-cell based therapies to enhance cardiomyocyte function when applied with surgical revascularization. The researcher will work collaboratively with other members of the lab to characterize the changes in mitochondrial bioenergetics in the heart, as well as the response to reoxygenation of the ischemic tissue. The ideal candidate will be a detail-oriented critical thinker able to work closely with other scientists to facilitate completion of studies in a thoughtful and timely manner. Independent work is expected, but the researcher will be mentored closely with and receive guidance and support from the PI and senior members of the lab
