Department: Stem Cell Biology & Regenerative Medicine Physical work location: 619 West 54 th Street, 8 th Floor, New York, NY 10019 Name PI or Supervisor: Joel Blanchard, PhD Web link to Lab: https://labs.icahn.mssm.edu/yinglab/ Web link to Department: https://icahn.mssm.edu/about/departments/regenerative-biology Administrative Contact: Stacy Paris / stacy.paris@mssm.edu Responsibilities Details of Research Project: The Blanchard Laboratory is seeking highly skilled, creative, and motivated scientists to join our team studying how genetic and environmental factors shape the human brain’s vulnerability to neurodegenerative disease.
Our research focuses on uncovering the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying Alzheimer’s disease and related neurodegenerative disorders, with the goal of identifying new therapeutic strategies. To accomplish this, the lab develops and applies advanced human iPSC-based brain models, including multicellular organoid and assembloid systems that recapitulate key aspects of human brain biology. These platforms are integrated with genomic, computational, and systems-level approaches to understand how genetic risk factors and environmental exposures drive disease processes.
Qualifications Technical Duties: (include any protocols) Projects in the laboratory span multiple areas of neurodegeneration research, including: Genetic risk mechanisms in Alzheimer’s disease (e.g., APOE biology) Neurovascular and glial contributions to neurodegeneration Lipid metabolism and metabolic stress in the aging brain Human brain organoid and assembloid engineering Multi-omics analysis of human brain tissue and disease models Our experimental platforms combine human iPSC models, post-mortem human brain analysis, and mouse models, enabling mechanistic discoveries that directly inform translational research.
Educational and other Requirements for the position: PhD Experience Required: 4-5 years Compensation Statement The Mount Sinai Health System (MSHS) provides salary ranges that comply with the New York City Law on Salary Transparency in Job Advertisements. The salary range for the role is $74,69200 - $80,000.00 Annually. Actual salaries depend on a variety of factors, including experience, education, and operational need.
