Massachusetts General Hospital
Full-time postdoctoral positions are available in the field of musculoskeletal biology with an emphasis on stem cells and regenerative biology.
Our laboratory aims to understand the genetic pathways regulating tendon development and repair with the goal of designing therapies for age-related degeneration and injury. Projects include: the directed differentiation of human embryonic stem cells or induced pluripotent stem cells into tendons for use in tissue-engineering and screen-based approaches and the use of the zebrafish model to understand tendon regeneration.
The position provides an exciting opportunity to work at the interface of basic and translational research in a collaborative and stimulating environment at the Center for Regenerative Medicine at MGH, Harvard Stem Cell Institute, and the Harvard Medical School community.
Applicants with a strong background in developmental biology, molecular biology, or human ES or iPS cell culture are encouraged to apply. Prior experience with mouse or zebrafish is preferred, but not essential.
