Postdoctoral positions available for research in developing cell and gene therapies for kidney diseases. Individuals with a strong background in molecular biology, cell culture, and a willingness to work with animals are encouraged to apply. The researcher will learn a variety of novel techniques for in vivo and ex vivo gene transfer including transposon technology, CRISPR/Cas9, and adeno-associated viral (AAV) vectors. Current projects are focused on developing new AAV vectors targeting the kidney, developing a cell therapy for Fabry disease, and engineering non-viral gene delivery methods.
