Research Description
Our lab does basic, translational and clinical research on the role of the alveolar epithelium in the pathogenesis and resolution of acute lung injury and the acute respiratory distress syndrome. Current projects include studies of the role of cell-free hemoglobin in the pathogenesis of lung epithelial injury in acute lung injury, investigation of the role of alveolar epithelium in modulating intra-alveolar fibrin deposition in the injured lung, translational studies of biomarkers for diagnosis and prognosis in acute lung injury, and studies of donor management for lung transplantation.
Research Keywords
Translational research in acute lung injury and lung transplantation
Clinical Research Keywords
acute lung injury, ARDS, pulmonary edema, acute respiratory failure, sepsis, coagulation, fibrinolysis, biomarker, proteomics, lung transplantation

Available Postdoctoral Position Details
Posted: 8/15/2017

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.
