Postdoctoral Fellow-MSH

Strength Through Diversity Ground breaking science. Advancing medicine. Healing made personal. Roles & Responsibilities: The candidate will participate in research centered around the modeling of myeloid malignancies with human pluripotent stem cells (induced pluripotent stem cells and embryonic stem cells). His responsibilities will include performing experiments involving the culture, hematopoietic differentiation and genetic modification of human pluripotent stem cells, molecular analyses, and transplantation experiments in mice. His responsibilities will also include data analysis and presentation in lab meetings and institutional work-in-progress seminars. He/She will also participate in research related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Specifically, he will participate in a study involving the generation of new models of COVID-19 using reprogramming technology to derive induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from patients with COVID-19 with the goal to understand the genetics of predisposition to severe or fatal COVID-19 disease. He will be involved in experiments to isolate blood cells from patients with severe COVID-19 disease at the Mount Sinai hospital and reprogram them into iPSC lines. He will then use directed differentiation methods to generate diverse cell types from them, such as lung alveolar cells, endothelial cells, cardiomyocytes and neurons and test their ability to support entry Requirements: PhD Strength Through Diversity The Mount Sinai Health System believes that diversity, equity, and inclusion are key drivers for excellence.
