募集要項

求人内容

Since Harvard Medical School (HMS) was established in 1782, faculty members have improved human health by innovating in their roles as physicians, mentors, and scholars. They have piloted educational models, developed new curricula to address emerging needs in health care, and produced thousands of leaders and compassionate caregivers who are shaping the fields of science and medicine throughout the world with their expertise and passion.

HMS is one of the oldest medical schools in the United States and is consistently ranked #1 for research among medical schools by U.S. News & World Report. HMS does not operate in conjunction with a single hospital but is directly affiliated with several teaching hospitals in the Boston Area. Boston Children's Hospital is one of the affiliated teaching hospitals and research institutes. It is one of the most prestigious hospitals in America and has been named the country #1 pediatric hospital, nine years in a row, by U.S. News & World Report.

Dr. Koichi Yuki, M.D. is the PI of the Yuki Lab and the Director of Cardiac Anesthesia Research at Boston Children's Hospital – Harvard Medical School. The laboratory has a broad interest in deciphering how immune cells cause organ injury in sepsis and sterile inflammation, particularly focusing on myeloid cells. The overarching goal of the scientific work has been to define key molecular pathways in pathogenesis or organ injury and to identify novel targets for therapeutic development.

Postdoctoral research fellow position is immediately available in the Yuki lab at Harvard Medical School-Boston Children's Hospital. Postdoctoral candidate may have opportunities to apply grants to pursue independent research directions.


[Job duties]
Ongoing research efforts in our group aim to:

*Elucidate how to target integrins are involved in myeloid cell functions and contribute to organ injury

*Determining immunological alternation in sepsis patients and in patients undergoing congenital heart surgery.

*Explore therapeutics for our target molecules

*Determine immunological profiles in the perioperative setting to understand surgically induced immune-modulation and its association with postoperative outcomes for therapeutic intervention.

[Work location]
