Several postdoctoral positions are currently open in Prof. Suman Bose's laboratory at the Mayo Clinic Arizona, within the Department of Physiology and Biomedical Engineering and the Department of Immunology. The research conducted in Prof. Bose's lab is primarily focused on advancing cell-based therapies for the treatment of human diseases. This involves exploring the intersection of biomaterial science, cellular engineering, and immunology. 

For this particular position, the successful candidate will be involved in developing bioelectronic cell encapsulation devices for the delivery of protein biologics. Additionally, they will conduct preclinical studies using small and large animal models. Collaboration with teams at the Mayo Clinic Rochester and the other universities will also be an important aspect of this role.

We welcome applications from candidates who are excited about curiosity-driven research, willing to learn cross-disciplinary skills, and motivated to address challenging biological inquiries.
