Postdoctoral Fellow(Pompe Disease: Search for New Therapeutic Targets) at National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases, Bethesda


National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases, Bethesda, MD and surrounding area
POST: Postdoctoral  Fellow(Pompe Disease: Search for New Therapeutic Targets)
The Laboratory of Muscle Stem Cells and Gene Regulation (LMSCGR) at the NIAMS of the NIH has a position available for an individual with a background in molecular biology and cell culture methodology. Within the Lab, our group is focused on translational research aimed at understanding the molecular and biochemical mechanisms of skeletal muscle damage in Pompe disease, a rare and fatal muscle disorder caused by a deficiency of the glycogen-degrading enzyme acid alpha-glucosidase. The disease belongs to a large group of lysosomal storage diseases. We are interested in the role of autophagy in the pathogenesis of the disease with the goal to improve the currently available enzyme replacement therapy. In addition, we are exploring the effect of a transcription factor (TFEB) on lysosomal glycogen clearance in newly developed in vitro and in vivo models of Pompe disease.
The fellow will use previously generated Pompe mouse models with alterations in autophagic genes, and will be responsible for the generation of novel transgenic models.  Applicants must have an M.D. or a Ph.D degree with expertise in molecular biology and a previous track record of successful research.  A good command of English is required.
A wide variety of state-of-the-art research facilities are available either within the laboratory or elsewhere on the NIH campus.
To apply, please submit your CV, bibliography, statement of research interests, and the names of three references to: Vittorio Sartorelli, M.D., Laboratory of Muscle Stem Cell and Gene Regulation, NIAMS, NIH; 50 South Drive, Room 1351, Bethesda, MD 20892; E-mail: sartorev@mail.nih.gov

POST: PostDoctoral fellow(Mast Cell Biology)
We are seeking a Post-Doctoral applicant to work within the Mast Cell Biology Section of the Laboratory of Allergic Diseases in the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, National Institutes of Health. The major focus of the research of our group is aimed at understanding how the key signaling processes controlling mast cell, development, survival, migration and activation are regulated in health and disease. We are especially interested in determining how the mast cell activation phenotype may be epigenetically programmed in these settings. Further details of our research can be found at: http://www.niaid.nih.gov/LabsAndResources/labs/aboutlabs/lad/mastCellBiologySection/Pages/default.aspx .
We are looking for motivated individuals with a Ph.D. in immunology, molecular biology, protein biochemistry, cell biology, or related fields. Experience in the study of epigenetics and gene arrays would be preferable.
Interested individuals should Email or send a cover letter, copy of their Curriculum vitae, and names and contact details of three referees to:

PostDoctoral Fellow ( Bio-behavioral Applications in Digestive Disorders) at National Insitute of Nursing Research, Bethesda


National Insitute of Nursing Research, Bethesda, MD and surrounding area
POST: Postdoctoral Fellow( Bio-behavioral Applications in Digestive Disorders)
The Bio-behavorial Unit seeks a Postdoctoral Fellow who will participate in our clinical and translational research program aiming to better understand the immuno-genetic mechanisms involved in symptom distress related to digestive and liver diseases, specifically the biobehavioral relationships between gut/ barrier function, inflammation, and patient symptoms. This research aims to identify genetic or other biologic/physiologic factors that predict patient-related clinical outcomes. Furthermore sex and gender differences are clinically evident, however have not been fully explained. The following aspects are included: Brain-Gut interactions in overweight and normal weight patients with chronic abdominal pain of unknown origin; immuno-genetic mechanisms involved in gastrointestinal symptom distress; and clinical and translational biobehavioral applications. Additional focus includes Brain-Gut Liver Axis and barrier function as well as the genetic mechanisms underlying altered miRNA and mRNA expression in digestive disorders.
 Come and be a part of a collaborative translational research team with experts from gastroenterology, hepatology, nutrition, oncology, biology, and bio-statistics. Our team is dedicated to developing novel treatments and non-invasive interventions to improve and better understand pediatric gastrointestinal disorders. True bench to bedside research is aimed at linking the biologic/physiologic factors to patient related outcomes. Our protocols are aimed at discovery of the main biologic patterns and pathways that lead to unknown etiologies.
 Requirements:
Applicant should have a PhD degree, and/or an MD degree and less than 5 years of postdoctoral experience.
To Apply:
Email your CV, cover letter, and a brief statement of research interests, and the name with phone numbers of three references to Dr. Wendy A. Henderson, hendersw@mail.nih.gov
