Our research is focused on cardiomyocytes derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells, which hold promise for cardiac cell therapy, disease modeling, drug discovery, and the study of developmental biology. We have been collaborating with investigators at Georgia Tech, Emory University, and Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, establishing new technologies and disease models for stem cell and cardiovascular research.
Open Positions
Postdoctoral Fellowship in Stem Cells
We are seeking a postdoctoral fellow to work on human pluripotent stem cells. The research is focused on differentiation and applications of cardiomyocytes from pluripotent stem cells and will be conducted in collaboration with investigators in Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, Georgia Tech, and Emory University. The candidate should have a recent Ph.D. preferably in Cell Biology or related disciplines with strong cellular and molecular biology expertise including cell culture, immunocytochemistry, flow cytometry analysis, qRT-PCR, generation of expression vectors and animal models. The candidate will conduct independent research and collaborate with members in the group and is expected to actively participate in experimental planning, data analysis, and manuscript writing.
To apply please send curriculum vitae, the names of 3 references, and a cover letter describing your research experience and interests to Dr. Chunhui Xu via email at chunhui.xu@emory.edu.
