Lab & Staff Positions (1)

Life Science Research Professional 1

The Kumar Lab, within the Division of Pediatric Pulmonary Medicine, is seeking a Life Science Research Professional to assist on a project studying the cellular and molecular mechanisms that control the development, maintenance, and repair of the pulmonary blood vessels of the mouse, with the long-term goal of understanding and treating pulmonary vascular disease. The Kumar laboratory’s long-term goals are to identify the cells, cell behaviors, and interactions that give rise to pulmonary vascular disease, delineate the molecular pathways that control them, and determine how they can be manipulated to prevent or reverse disease.

The selected candidate will employ cutting-edge genetic and single-cell approaches, including single-cell RNA-sequencing and spatial transcriptomics in mouse and human patient tissues, high-resolution deep tissue imaging, in vivo lineage tracing, and pharmacologic manipulation in mice to discover how cell patterns, behaviors, interactions, and functions are altered in pulmonary disease.
