I am posting this for a colleague - fluorescence microscopy postdoc
position in Prof. Subhash Kulkarni's lab, JHU SOM, Baltimore, Md. A
couple of recent papers from their lab are PubMed 28420791 and 30381426.
***
A PostDoc position to image the innervation of the gastrointestinal
tract is available in the K Lab (
https://www.klab-jhu.com) at the Center
for Neurogastroenterology at the Johns Hopkins University, in Baltimore,
MD.
Using various imaging platforms and strategies, including confocal
microscopy, multi-photon microscopy and light-sheet microscopy, the
research objective is to interrogate and trace specific neural circuits
that innervate the gastrointestinal tract at health and in various
animal models of gastrointestinal diseases. The research will also focus
on immunostaining optically cleared surgically resected human tissue to
study the patterns of innervation in healthy and diseased human tissues.
The position is for 2 years and the postdoc will carry out the following
projects
·Establishing protocols for optical clarification of human and rodent
gastrointestinal tissues.
·Using optically cleared tissue to perform high resolution mapping of
human and rodent ENS.
·Using state of the art imaging platforms to image the intestinal tissue
and related neurons at low and high magnification in healthy animals and
animal models of disease; as well as in human control tissues and in
human tissues from patients of intestinal dysfunction.
·Establishing and using protocols to quantify changes to neuronal
circuitry using the imaging data.**
