Description

The School of Medicine at the Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center (LSUHSC) in New Orleans is seeking a postdoctoral fellow to investigate the role of signaling factors and molecules, including the angiotensin-converting enzyme type 2 (ACE2), serotonin, and the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), in linking neuroplasticity with vasculature in the adult rodent brain. The research will focus on blood pressure regulation and gene modifications that contribute to neuro-cardiovascular deregulation. Work will involve gene targeting techniques in the central nervous system (such as optogenetics, DREADD), targeting specific neuronal networks involved in inflammation, and employing state-of-the-art approaches, including cell culture, in vivo analysis, and FACS.


Qualifications

The ideal candidate should have a background in cardiovascular physiology, brain anatomy, and histology, as well as a strong interest in developing hypotheses and addressing complex research questions. The approaches combine genetic tools, optogenetics and behavior, pharmacology, histology, and imaging to uncover pathways that regulate neuroplasticity and blood pressure regulation. The successful applicant will receive training in responsible research conduct and ethics, will be mentored in manuscript writing and grant submission, and is required to participate in the departmental seminar series.

Additional Position Information

Dr. Klempin’s lab in the Cardiovascular Center uses a combination of molecular, genetic, and physiological approaches, including the generation of transgenic and knockout models, cardiovascular and neurophysiological techniques (such as mouse telemetry, cardiovascular function assessment, brain microinjections, and micro dialysis), gene therapy tools (including siRNA and viral transfection), immunohistochemistry, biochemical methods, and behavior analysis.
