Position: Postdoctoral
Research Fellow
Application
Deadline: Wednesday,
May 30, 2012
Project Description:
The Joint Battlefield Health and
Trauma Institute Research and Development laboratory is dedicated to improving
the care given to military personnel who suffer traumatic injury. As part of
this effort, the Institute develops, characterizes and uses animal models of
these traumatic injuries to investigate the pathophysiology of traumatic injury
as well as to develop and test novel therapeutics for the treatment of such
injures in order to sustain life, and optimize functional recovery. Of those
injured on the battlefield, over 70% have extremity injuries involving the soft
and hard tissues. In order to develop technologies to restore damaged or
missing tissues, the Institute's Extremity Trauma and Regenerative Medicine
Group focuses on using animal models to develop therapeutics aimed at
regeneration of muscle, skin and bone.
The Postdoctoral Research Fellow
will focus on advancing the fields of tissue engineering and regenerative
medicine along with methods to mitigate the effects of ischemia reperfusion.
The development of new knowledge and strategies for preservation, repair,
regeneration, augmentation, or replacement of musculoskeletal tissues and skin
injured or physically lost due to combat related extremity or craniomaxillary
facial trauma.
Specific Tasks:
·
The fellow will be expected to work as a member
of the team and develop an understanding of physiology as well as the ability
to use standard mechanical testing techniques to assess tissue function along
with methods to address ischemia reperfusion injury from combat related
injuries.
·
The fellow will engage in research
focused on the development of techniques for isolation, purification, characterization,
and differentiation of adult stem cells derived from adipose tissue. Work may
also include the application of these cells as a therapeutic modality for
traumatic injury.
·
The fellow will work to develop methods to
evaluate functional outcomes in a model of ischemia reperfusion and transplant
immunomodulation. The work will be completed in animal models of trauma (in
vivo), bench-top models of biological systems (in vitro) and in clinical
studies.
