About The Position

The Coyne Laboratory studies the pathways by which microorganisms cross cellular barriers and the mechanisms by which these barriers restrict microbial infections. Our studies primarily focus on the epithelium that lines the gastrointestinal tract and on placental trophoblasts, the cells that comprise a key cellular barrier of the human placenta. Our work is highly multidisciplinary and encompasses aspects of cell biology, immunology, and microbiology. Our long-term goals are to identify pathogen- and host-specific therapeutic targets to prevent or treat microbial infections and ultimately to alleviate the morbidity and mortality caused by these infections. The position will support completion and publication of Tyler's graduate research and development of new approach methodologies (NAMs) within the School of Medicine. Responsibilities will include finalizing manuscripts, coordinating with faculty and School of Medicine leadership, developing NAM workflows and capabilities, supporting faculty projects, and assisting with establishment of the planned NAM Core.
