We aim at understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying cardiac repair after myocardial infarction with a focus on vessel tube formation, endothelial cell plasticity and immune modulation. The goal of this study is to develop new regenerative therapeutics by targeting hostile ischemic microenvironment to promote cardiac repair after myocardial infarction. We are also interested in immunotherapy for cardiovascular disease using CAR-T or engineered myeloid cells, promising strategies that our laboratories have developed for treating cancer. More information about the laboratories can be found at

Qualifications

We encourage applications from highly motivated individuals with a background in cardiology, vascular biology, immunology or related fields. Practical experience in molecular and cellular biology techniques and animal models is required. Preference will be given to candidates with prior experience in endothelial biology and cardiovascular research.

Application Instructions

Applications should be sent through Interfolio and should include:

1. Curriculum vitae (with names and contact information for three references)
2. Brief statement of prior research experience and current interests
3. Contact information for three (3) references

Questions can be directed to: gongy@pennmedicine.upenn.edu.
