Associate Researcher-Cell Developmental & Regenerative Biology (Blanchard Lab)
About The Position
The Blanchard Laboratory at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai is seeking passionate and highly motivated individuals to join our team working on a funded NASA-supported research program investigating how spaceflight and environmental stressors influence the human brain and neurodegenerative disease risk. Researchers will work closely with members of the laboratory to engineer iPSC-derived vascular and multicellular 3D models of the human brain and apply these platforms to study mechanisms underlying Alzheimer’s disease and related neurodegenerative disorders. These models are also being adapted for spaceflight experiments on the International Space Station, providing a unique opportunity to participate in cutting-edge work at the intersection of stem cell biology, neuroscience, and space medicine. The successful candidate will contribute to the generation and characterization of human stem cell–derived brain models and will assist with experimental workflows supporting both ground-based and spaceflight studies.
