The Winer and Furman labs at the Buck Institute are interested in studying how the immune system influences chronic inflammation during aging and age-related disease. We are seeking an independent and highly motivated recent PhD or MD/PhD graduate with a strong background in immunology to begin immediately to study mechanisms of cytokine storm with age using mouse models.
POSITION BACKGROUND
The Winer lab studies the immune system’s influence on chronic inflammation during insulin resistance, which occurs in settings of metabolic syndrome and aging (see sample lab papers: Tsai et al Cell Metab 2018, 922-34; Ghazarian et al Science Immunol 2017, Apr 21; Winer et al Cell Metab 2016, 413-26; Luck et al Cell Metab 2015, 527-42; Winer et al Nature Med 2011, 610-7; Winer et al Nature Med 2009; 921-9). We use immunology, molecular biology, endocrinology, mouse models, and tissue culture assays to elucidate mechanisms by which immune cells and immune molecules influence inflammation in tissues.
The Furman lab studies how aging impacts inflammation, using systems-level immunity and applied advanced analytics with artificial intelligence and machine learning to sort through large volumes of data (see sample lab papers: Furman et al Nature Med 2019: 1822-1832; Furman et al Nature Med 2017: 174-184; Furman et al Sci Transl Med 2015, Apr 1). Dr. Furman directs the Bioinformatics core at the Buck Institute.
The selected Postdoctoral Fellow will have the unique opportunity to work under the guidance of two experts in immunology on a joint project. The position will involve using multiple approaches in mouse models to better understand cytokine production and regulation in the immune system during cytokine storm in mice.
