The Gregorio Lab in the Cardiovascular Research Institute (CVRI) at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai is seeking highly motivated candidates for the full-time position of Postdoctoral Research Associate I. Dr. Gregorio’s NIH-funded research incorporates molecular, cellular and physiological approaches on the RNA/protein level to identify molecular mechanisms that underlie contractile protein function in heart and skeletal muscle diseases. Current studies focus on the role of RNA-binding proteins in muscle function that are altered during normal development and in disease such as Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. The laboratory generates, analyzes, and integrates high-throughput fluorescence imaging, molecular biology and biochemistry to determine the mechanism of RNA binding proteins in cells (e.g., iPSCs, primary myocytes) and animal models that reflect patho/physiological states. The successful Postdoctoral ca...
