My lab has two major focus areas: the role of cell free-hemoglobin in modulating endothelial and lung epithelial permeability in sepsis and ARDS and the role of tissue factor, the initiator of the extrinsic coagulation cascade, in mediating lung epithelial injury and repair. I have experience with mouse models of acute lung injury as well as with modeling the epithelial barrier for in vitro study. I have developed several novel murine and cell culture model systems to study the function of TF in ALI. My research is translational and combines studies in cell culture, human and mouse experimental models, and human samples from patients with sepsis and ARDS.

Description of Position
A postdoctoral position is immediately available in the laboratories of Dr. Lorraine Ware, Professor of Medicine and Pathology, Microbioloby and Immunology and Dr. Julie Bastarache, Department of Medicine at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine. Our translational research group studies pathogenic mechanisms of sepsis and acute lung injury with a specific focus on mechanisms of lung epithelial and endothelial injury. A major focus is on understanding the cellular and molecular mechanisms of cell-free hemoglobin-mediated lung epithelial and microvascular endothelial permeability. This postdoctoral fellowship will afford the fellow the opportunity to drive this project forward using a multitude of tools and models available in our group including primary and immortalized cell culture, multiple genetically modifed mouse lines, mouse models of acute lung injury and sepsis as well as the ex vivo perfused human lung.
Qualifications for the Position
Candidates must have an MD and/or PhD in a related medical or biological sciences field. Successful candidates should be self-starters and highly motivated to thrive in a rich research environment. Expertise with cell culture and mouse studies is required. Specific expertise in mitochondrial biology, apoptosis, and/or redox biology would be helpful but is not required. The successful candidate should have a demonstrated ability to work both independently and collaboratively, possess strong oral and written communication skills and have a strong foundation in bench science. Responsibilities include designing and implementing experiments, data collection and review, abstract and manuscript preparation and local and national scientific presentations. A successful fellow will leave the program with a broad knowledge of acute lung injury and sepsis, a robust scientific skillset, expertise in a wide range of laboratory techniques and an opportunity for presentation and publication.
Questions about the position can be directed to Lorraine.ware@vanderbilt.edu or Julie.bastarache@vanderbilt.edu.
