About the role
The research associate will work primarily on two NIH-funded projects integrating human biospecimens, molecular and single-cell approaches, mechanistic laboratory studies, and clinical investigation. Our goal is to understand biological heterogeneity in critical illness, identify actionable molecular pathways, and develop new therapeutic and precision-medicine approaches.
