Research Fellow, Microbiology Immunology
About The Position
Postdoctoral Positions are immediately available to study the underlying molecular mechanisms of viral and host factors in hepatitis B virus (HBV) and delta virus (HDV) infection, replication, and development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) using novel cell culture and mouse models of HBV/HDV infection recently developed in the lab. Additionally, we are searching for a cure for chronic hepatitis B by targeting novel pathways that were discovered in the lab recently. Innovative research approaches developed in the lab include mouse models of HBV and HDV infection and replication, robust cell culture models of HBV infection and propagation, genomics, proteomics, bioinformatics, gene-editing (CRISPR/Cas9) system, cell biological, gene-knockout and immunological technologies.
