Post Doctoral Fellow-MSH-32086-001
About The Position
The Mount Sinai Health System is seeking a Post Doctoral Fellow to engage in basic and translational research projects focused on the study of the mechanism of reduction of adiposity induced by an FSH antibody. The role involves using mouse models to investigate the effects of specific gene deletions in adipocytes, osteoclasts, or osteoblasts on fat and bone cells. This will be achieved through cell phenotyping, in vitro and ex vivo functional assays, histomorphometry, micro-CT, quantitative NMR, and molecular biology techniques to understand how FSH inhibition impacts adipose tissue and bone.
Requirements
