Research Topic: Molecular regulation of vascular function 

Our group is focused on understanding the cellular signaling pathways involved in vascular disease. We conduct both cell biology and animal studies to investigate the role of novel proteins or processes in endothelial cell biology. Students with an interest in cell biology or animal studies are encouraged to apply.
Duties and responsibilities: performing cell-based studies, genotyping, managing mice colonies, microscopy all these will depend on the experience and interest.

Qualifications: Should have strong interest and basic knowledge in cell biology and physiology, experience with cell culture is a plus.

Time Commitment: Minimum 10 hours/week

Compensation: Volunteer (Optional registration for URES:3992, 0-credit transcript recognition), To be determined

Start Date: Immediate, Near future

Timeline: Ongoing, potential to be a continuous position, To be determined

Application Instructions: To express your interest, please email your CV/resume to santosh-kumar@uiowa.edu. Include a brief statement detailing your enthusiasm for our lab and vascular biology research, and provide a list of relevant courses and respective grades.
