Postdoctoral Fellow – Placental Cell Biology
NIEHS/NIH A fully funded postdoctoral position will be available on or after December 2024 in the laboratory of Dr. Carlos Guardia, Placental Cell Biology Group, NIEHS/NIH. Dr. Guardia’s la... boratory focuses on the basic molecular mechanisms that control placenta development and function, with a strong focus on autophagy, intracellular trafficking, and secretory pathways of hormones and extracellular vesicles.
The successful candidate will study the molecular mechanisms of autophagy and its regulation in the placenta. We’re interested in understanding how placental cells respond to several stressors during pregnancy and how autophagy also regulates placenta and embryo development. The first topic is focused on characterizing the role of autophagy during metabolic stress such hypoxia and starvation to assure proper fetal development. The second topic aims to understand the role of several autophagy related (ATG) genes in placenta development and aging as a regulator of both cell differentiation and apoptosis. To carry out these interdisciplinary studies, we develop tools that draw from protein biochemistry, cell and molecular biology, high-throughput sequencing, proteomics, mouse models, CRISPR, and advanced microscopy. Most of our work takes advantage of mouse and human cell lines as model systems, including human term placentas we obtain from collaborators.
