Job Description Summary:

For questions regarding this requisition, please contact: Luigi Boccardi (lboccardi@kumc.edu)

Dr. Navneet Dhillon’s Lab in the Division of Pulmonary, Critical Care, and Sleep Medicine is seeking a highly self-motivated, hardworking candidate to work in the laboratory at the University of Kansas Medical Center, focused on unraveling the molecular mechanisms involved in vascular dysfunction associated with cardio-pulmonary complications. This research will use imaging, biochemical, proteomic, and microbiological techniques both in vitro and in vivo. The primary research focus of the lab is aimed at mechanistically understanding how viral infections and drugs of abuse contribute alone and in conjunction to pulmonary vascular injury. The current research focus of the lab is aimed at elucidating the role of long non-coding RNAs and miRNAs, extracellular vesicles, and interplay of macrophages, and T cells in pulmonary vascular remodeling.
