Job Description
JOB SUMMARY
The Hu Lab at Houston Methodist Research Institute is seeking talented postdoctoral researchers to work on our NIH-funded project titled “Pathogenesis in Segmental Demyelination”. This project aims to delve into the molecular mechanisms underlying segmental demyelination in inherited peripheral nerve diseases. Our specific interest lies in understanding how anomalies in lysosomal trafficking and intercellular interactions among Schwann cells, axons, and macrophages trigger segmental demyelination. We approach these scientific queries at various levels, incorporating in vitro assays, primary cultured cells, as well as in vivo techniques such as mouse genetics and viral-mediated methods. This is a great opportunity to contribute to this exciting project which will be published in high-profile journals.
Key Responsibilities
- Design and execute independent research projects.
- Participate in innovative and collaborative research.
- Applies to internal and external fellowships.
- Publishes papers in peer-reviewed research journals.
- Present scientific findings at national conferences.
