Postdoctoral Fellow-MSH-32074-064
About The Position
The candidate will use fundamental science tools to test how the nervous system regulates macrophage function and biology in the heart. The candidate will test how neurotransmitters and neuropeptides modify macrophage subsets and inflammatory processes in the heart and its vasculature at steady state, after myocardial infarction, during atherosclerosis, or in the context of other cardiovascular pathologies. The goal of this research is to identify new ways by which the nervous system regulates inflammation in the cardiovascular system. Novel signaling mechanisms will be further developed and tested for therapeutic intervention.
