Job Description
The Derderian Lab in the Department of Surgery at the University of Colorado School of Medicine is seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Fellow to join our team at the forefront of fetal therapy research. Our lab tackles two transformative areas of investigation: (1) understanding placental biology and epigenetic regulation of trophoblast invasion, with a focus on extracellular vesicle–mediated microRNA signaling in fetal growth restriction, and (2) pioneering in utero gene editing approaches to correct genetic disease before birth. Current projects include the development of CRISPR-Cas9–based base editing platforms delivered by AAV vectors and lipid nanoparticles to treat Ornithine Transcarbamylase (OTC) deficiency in utero.
