Description:

We seek highly motivated individuals with a proven research track record to join our laboratory at Weill Cornell Medical College as postdoctoral fellows. The major research interest in the our Laboratory is to manipulate stem cell fate using chemical and biological approaches and to generate functional tissues and organs that can be used for translational research. Our current main focus is on human pluripotent stem cells (PSCs), including hESCs and iPSCs. We combine our knowledge of stem cell biology, developmental biology, chemical biology, medicine chemistry and tissue engineering to derive functional cells, tissues and organs from human pluripotent stem cells. Our long-term goal is to apply patient specific PSC-derived tissues or organs for replacement therapy and build up disease in a dish platforms for drug discovery. For more information, please visit our laboratory website: http://www.chenlab.org We are eager to create a multidisciplinary, highly interactive environment with chemists, biologists, and engineers, and to develop or apply emerging technologies to address critical issues in the area of Stem Cell Biology and Translational Research.
 
Please send Curriculum Vitae, a summary of the previous research experience and the future research interest, and the contact information for three references to shc2034@med.cornell.edu
