Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Lupus Nephritis: The Tao Lab at Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH) and Harvard Medical School (HMS) is seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Research Fellow. The successful candidate will engage in cutting-edge research to develop targeted drug delivery systems for autoimmune kidney diseases, focusing on lupus nephritis.
Designation
Postdoctoral Research Fellow
Research Area
Lipid Nanoparticle Formulation and Kidney-Targeted Drug Delivery for Autoimmune Diseases
Location
Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH) and Harvard Medical School (HMS)
Eligibility/Qualification
- Required:
- MD in lupus nephritis or PhD in chemistry, pharmacology, bioengineering, or a related field.
- Substantial experience and strong experimental skills in lipid nanoparticle formulation and kidney-targeted drug delivery.
- Proficiency in nanoparticle characterization and experience with mRNA delivery systems for immunomodulation.
- Preferred:
- Research background in immunology, nephrology, or autoimmune diseases.
- High-quality publications in kidney-targeted drug delivery, lipid nanoparticles, or therapies related to lupus/autoimmune diseases.
