The studies will utilize a unique set of transgenic mice and in vivo models combined with state-of-the-art imaging, signaling assays, and transgenic animals, as well as close collaborations with a well-coordinated clinical program providing access to cells and tissues. A wide array of resources and equipment is available for these studies. The Hospital is a major teaching affiliate of the Harvard Medical School. Candidates with Ph.D. or M.D./Ph.D. degrees with backgrounds in molecular biology, immunology, genetics, and proteomics are highly desirable. Experience with animal models preferred.
