Postdoctoral Fellow - Mitochondria in Metabolic Syndrome

Join the forefront of groundbreaking research at the Beckman Research Institute of City of Hope, where we're changing lives and making a real difference in the fight against cancer, diabetes, and other life-threatening illnesses. Our dedicated and compassionate faculty and staff are driven by a common mission: Contribute to innovative approaches in predicting, preventing, and curing diseases, shaping the future of medicine through cutting-edge research. As a Postdoctoral Fellow, you will work in a laboratory focused on investigating the role of mitochondria in metabolic syndrome and its associated complications. The specific project will examine the novel role of mitochondrial AKT as a critical regulator of ovarian granulosa cell development and fate determination during folliculogenesis. As a successful candidate you will:

• Use transgenic mice models to study the mechanisms through which insulin resistance modulates mitochondria and transcriptomes in ovarian granulosa cells through folliculogenesis.
• This position will require skills for transgenic mice management, mitochondria biology, ovarian cycles, primary culture of granulosa cells, and gene transcription.

Your qualifications should include:

• PhD or MD PhD
• Experience in transgenic mice research, molecular biology, ovary research, and metabolic syndrome
• Preferred PhD training background in female reproductive biology.
