Post-Doctoral Research Position

A full time
Post-Doctoral research position is available in the laboratory of Dr. Charles
Hong in the Division of Cardiology at the University of Maryland-Baltimore as
of June 1, 2018. MD,
PhD or MD/PhD scientist is sought to join the emerging field of chemical genetics.  The Hong lab has identified a number of small
molecules that specifically perturb embryonic patterning.  The first goal of the study is to determine
how these small molecules function by identifying their cellular targets using
cell biological, biochemical and computational approaches. In addition, since
aberrant activities of many of developmental pathways are thought to play a
major role in pathogenesis of variety of human diseases, such as cancer,
metabolic and cardiovascular diseases, an important goal is to explore
therapeutic potential these small molecules in various murine disease models.
