DescriptionThe Ikegami lab at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center is recruiting highly motivated postdocs interested in studying molecular mechanisms of heart, skeletal muscle, and vascular diseases. The current research focus of the lab is the molecular pathogenesis of diseases caused by nuclear lamin mutations ("laminopathies"), including dilated cardiomyopathies, muscular dystrophies, lipodystrophies, and premature aging disorders. We are recruiting postdocs interesting in studying laminopathies using molecular, genetic, genomic, proteomic, lipidomic, pharmacologic, or biophysical approaches. Candidates interested in studying how the immune system contributes to laminopathies are also encouraged to
