Principal Investigators, Dr. Barry Stripp, PhD and Dr. Changfu Yao, PhD are looking for a Postdoctoral Scientist to join their research labs!
The Stripp and Yao laboratories constitute the Lung Regeneration group at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and seek to understand basic mechanisms of lung maintenance, how this is disrupted in disease and to develop regenerative medicine approaches that will restore structure and function to damaged lung tissue. The laboratories couple the genetic tractability of mouse models with studies using human lung tissue to identify stem/progenitor cells and to understand how they are regulated under normal or injured/diseased states.
The long-term goal is to exploit this newly acquired knowledge to improve the care of patients with lung disease.
