Job Description:
The Kumar Laboratory at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center,
Regenerative Medicine Institute is looking for a passionate,
inquisitive, and enthusiastic individual who wishes to investigate
the cellular and molecular underpinnings of the regenerative
responses post -mammalian acute kidney injury with a goal to
identify novel therapeutic targets and strategies to augment
intrinsic regenerative responses and inhibit fibrosis post-injury.
Such approaches will "kick-start" the acutely injured kidneys and
prevent their progression to chronic kidney disease!The coupling of
innovative transgenic mice to the repair/regeneration model of
acute kidney injury the incumbent will study the key biological
processes involved in the regeneration of an injured epithelia per
se. To gain further insights into such regenerative responses, such
responses are also interrogated during kidney development. In
addition, the laboratory will leverage on the world-class human
induced pluripotent stem cell (iPS) core facilities of RMI to
establish systems for kidney disease modeling and investigation of
human renal repair responses. To learn more, visit Liver & Kidney
Program - Cedars-SinaiWorking independently but in close
cooperation with Dr. Kumar and other Research Scientists, the
Postdoc performs routine and complex laboratory procedures
throughout the training period. The Postdoc participates in
laboratory meetings, keeps a lab notebook, performs calculations,
tabulates data, summarizes methods and results of related
experiments, and maintains general lab space. The incumbent will be
assigned to a funded project investigating the above processes and
will gain critical insights into kidney progenitor cells and kidney
repair/regeneration.#Jobs-IndeedPrimary Duties and
