The Sato Lab at UMass Med, starting June 1st, is seeking an enthusiastic postdoctoral fellow to join our team at the forefront of gene editing and cell therapy research. Our research group is at the forefront of cutting-edge science, focusing on elucidating the molecular mechanisms underlying rare diseases and autoimmune disorders. Through innovative approaches such as gene editing and cell therapy, we aim to develop novel therapeutic strategies to combat these conditions and improve patient outcomes.

Project Highlights:

• Utilize cutting-edge CRISPR gene editing techniques
• Engineer and explore cell therapies for disease treatment
• Investigate the genetic basis of rare skeletal and connective tissue diseases
• Unravel mechanisms underlying autoimmune disorders

Qualifications (Postdoctoral Fellow):

• D. in Genetics, Cell Biology, skeletal biology, or a related field
• Experience with gene editing techniques (CRISPR preferred)
• Strong background in cell culture and in vitro assays
• Excellent collaborative skills with multidisciplinary teams to design and execute experiments.

How to Apply:

Interested candidates should submit a CV or resume, a cover letter with a short description outlining research interests and relevant experience, and contact information for three references to tadatoshi.sato@umassmed.edu. Please indicate the position you are applying for in the subject line.
