Scholarship: Fully-Funded
Degree: Ph.D. and/or M.D.
Nationality: International Students
Location: New York, USA
Application deadlines: Open until filled
Scholarship Description:
Ongoing studies include investigation of lncRNA function, Notch/RBP-J signaling, identification of inflammatory osteoclast precursors, and cross-talk between adipose and bone in the physiological and pathological settings in osteoimmunology field, an exciting interdisciplinary research field linking bone biology and immune system. We apply cutting edge cellular and molecular techniques including RNAseq, ATACseq and ChIPseq, and use various mouse models to accomplish the study.

Available Subjects:
- Molecular and cellular biology, immunology, bone biology or a related field
Eligibility criteria:
- At least one first author article.
- The ideal candidate should have strong expertise in cellular and molecular techniques (co- IP, ChIP, immunostaining, FACS) and in genetic mutant mouse breeding. Experience in sequence analysis is preferred. High level of motivation, responsibility and independence are expected.
