Open Rank Laboratory Science Professional - Pediatric Cardiology Research
University of Colorado Anschutz Medical CampusDepartment:
Pediatrics, Section of CardiologyJob Title:
Open Rank Laboratory Science Professional - Pediatric Cardiology ResearchPosition #:
00805587 - Requisition #:
31508Job
Summary:
The overall focus of this translational research program is to better understand the unique adaptations governing pathological cardiac remodeling and the progression to heart failure in pediatric patients with complex congenital heart disease, including hypoplastic left heart syndrome and other single ventricle defects.
This Laboratory Science Professional will have a key role in conducting a variety of experiments exploring the molecular and functional metabolic changes related to heart failure progression in this population.
We utilize human tissue and blood samples in addition to cell culture- and murine- based models to conduct experiments evaluating molecular transcriptomic, proteomic, and functional alterations associated with heart failure progression.
This work will be important for the identification and development of drug therapies that improve cardiac function and enhance transplant-free survival in a population with few other options.
Key
Responsibilities:
Cell culture.
in vivo and ex vivo murine model work.
Human blood sample pro4cessing.
Molecular and cell biology techniques (RNA, DNA, protein, enzyme activity).
Mitochondrial metabolic function assessment (Seahorse, Oroboros O2K).
General laboratory maintenance, including reagent preparation, ordering, organization, and inventory cataloging.
Work Location:
Onsite - This role is expected to work onsite and is in Aurora, Colorado.
Why Join Us:
With an abundance of sunshine and mountains nearby, the Colorado Front Range is the place to be! The University of Colorado Denver, Anschutz Medical Campus as a whole, ranks among the top 20 medical centers in the country.
CU Anschutz has top-ranked clinical programs in family medicine and pediatrics, and the basic science and applied health research programs attract more NIH funding than any other university in Colorado.
CU-Anschutz is home to the University of Colorado Hospital, The Children's Hospital of Colorado, and the University of Colorado Schools of Medicine, Nursing, Dentistry, Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, and Public Health, providing access to an array of possibilities to improve lives across a spectrum of ages and disease states.
Across several labs at Children's Hospital Colorado and the Anschutz Medical Campus, teams of researchers, including ours, are investigating the early heart from an ever-growing array of angles, to develop the critical knowledgebase and infrastructure necessary to identify efficacious therapies to improve outcomes in pediatric patients.
The Pediatric Heart Tissue and Blood Bank is one of the largest pediatric biobanks in the country and serves as an incredible resource for these translational studies.
The University of Colorado offers a comprehensive benefits package that includes health insurance, life insurance, retirement plans, tuition benefits, ECO pass, paid time off - vacation, sick, and holidays and more.
