Welcome to the Blau Lab
Our focus is on the basic molecular mechanisms of stem cells and muscle and their application to aging, regenerative medicine, and disease. The Blau lab brings together biologists, bioinformatics experts, and bioengineers who are interested in everything from the basic mechanisms of disease, to technology development, to clinical translation. We capitalize on an interdisciplinary approach to science because 'Where we look and how we look determines what we see’. The laboratory collaborates extensively with other researchers. Our overall objective is to understand and apply biology to improve quality of life.
Join the Blau Team
We are seeking creative, highly motivated, and team-oriented scientists to perform cutting-edge research: a Senior Research Scientist, a Postdoctoral Fellow, and two technicians. More information and how to apply here.
