美国洛杉矶儿童医院博士后职位

Two postdoctoral research positions are available at The Vision Center at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles and The Saban Research Institute (affiliated with USC Keck School of Medicine) to develop CRISPR-based gene editing approaches for treatment of inherited retinal dystrophies. Experimental approaches will include production of patient-derived iPSCs and retinal organoids, and design and testing of patient-specific gene editing strategies using in vitro generated retinal tissue. The laboratory features dedicated stem cell based disease modeling facilities, a large cohort of patients with inherited retinal diseases, and retinal organoid expertise (Aparicio et al 2017 (PMID 27867005), Browne et al 2017 (PMID 28672397), and Aparicio et al, in: Schwartz SD, Nagiel A, Lanza R, eds. Cellular Therapies for Retinal Disease: A Strategic Approach, 2017). Qualified applicants should have an MD and/or PhD with a strong background in gene editing, stem cell-derived organoid production, or disease modeling and interest in translational retinal research.

Please send a CV, summary of past research, and a letter of interest to Drs. A. Nagiel and D. Cobrinik, care of Ms. Armine Begijanmasihi (abegijanmasihi@chla.usc.edu).
