About The Position
Sanford Burnham Prebys is a preeminent, independent biomedical research institute dedicated to understanding human biology and disease, and advancing scientific discoveries to profoundly impact human health. The duties and responsibilities contained in the job description are intended to be examples of the accountabilities for which the person in the position will demonstrate competency through performance. The job description is not intended to be an all-inclusive list. Duties and responsibilities are subject to change and other duties may be assigned as necessary. Research in the Brenner lab studies a wide variety of liver diseases, such as liver fibrosis, HCC and Metabolic dysfunction associated steatohepatitis (MASH) and Alcohol associated liver disease (ALD). Using both in vivo mouse models as well as primary human cells, the overarching goal of the lab is to understand the cell-cell interaction and the basic mechanisms of disease development in order to identify novel therapeutic approaches. A Postdoctoral Fellow position is available to study the mechanism of liver fibrosis development in the context of Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency and to understand the mechanism of activation of hepatic stellate cells in MASH. Under limited direction, the Postdoctoral fellow will plan and manage all aspects of a research project including research design, experimentation, funding acquisition and publication.
