"Staff Research Associate"

We study the development of blood vessels in the human brain to understand how the vascular and nervous system develop in healthy brains, what goes wrong in the brain of premature babies which causes the disease germinal matrix hemorrhage, and how we can potentially manipulate the blood brain barrier to deliver therapeutics.

The ideal candidate for this position will be (1) interested in pediatric health and (2) trained in iPSC and organoid differentiation protocols.
