A Postdoctoral position is available in the Trivedi lab to study roles of novel chromatin and epigenetic modifications during cardiovascular development and disease (for details of our research: The Journal of Clinical Investigation, Science Advances, Journal of Experimental Medicine, ATVB, Human Molecular Genetics, Journal of Biological Chemistry). Candidates with a PhD in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, Stem Cell Biology or Developmental Biology are encouraged to apply. Previous experience with mice handling and biochemistry-molecular biology-epigenetics related techniques such as ChIP-seq is strongly desired. Candidate will be required to learn new techniques in the area of translational biology to advance their project.
Rotation Projects: Please contact Chinmay Trivedi (chinmay.trivedi@umassmed.edu) for information regarding potential rotation projects (for details - research performed by graduate students in the trivedi lab: The Journal of Clinical Investigation, Science Advances, Journal of Experimental Medicine, JCI Insight, ATVB, Human Molecular Genetics, Journal of Biological Chemistry). We will develop a specific rotation project based on student's interest, background, and goals of the rotation. Students can rotate either for a half- or full-semester.
Dr. Henninger is a vascular neurologist with research interest in the neurobiology of axonal injury associated with traumatic brain injury and its contribution to functional outcome.
Immediate opening! Two postdoctoral positions are available immediately to study cellular andmolecular mechanisms resulting in immunosuppression after alcohol use. Thefocus of this research is the role of monocytes and dendritic cells indecreased antigen-specific T cell activation after alcohol use.Intracellular signalling mechanisms resulting in decreased NF-kBactivation and inflammatory cytokine induction after acute alcoholconsumption are being investigated. Please contact Dr. Szabo for details.

A postdoctoral position is available to study in this laboratory. Contact Dr. Craig for additional details.
Potential Rotation Projects Project #1: Lipid-Layer Protein Crystallization for Electron Microscopy.While individual protein molecules can be readily visualized by EM, structural information is greatly enhanced if the molecules can by crystallized into 2-dimensional ordered arrays. Methods for achieving this are well established, making use of lipid monolayers at an air-water interface. Follow literature methods to crystallize "standard" proteins using the lipid-layer method. Observe results by electron microscopy following negative staining. If time permits, carry out preliminary image processing of micrographs and/or crystallization of unknown proteins. Techniques to be learned: lipid layer crystallization methods; grid preparation; use of electron microscope; image processing.

Our team welcomes applications from individuals interested in advancing clinical care, science, and education through multidisciplinary innovation and research in restorative, regenerative, and global surgery. Positions are available for national and international undergraduate, graduate (including residents), and post-graduate students with a broad range of diverse expertise and backgrounds. Please submit your request along your CV to: giorgio.giatsidis@umassmed.edu Main areas of interest * Biological Sciences (wound healing & burns, tissue engineering, scaffolds, tissue mechanobiology, angiogenesis, lymphangiogenesis, tissue regeneration [skeletal muscle, adipose tissue, skin], scarring and fibrosis, aging, tissue allotransplantation) * Clinical Sciences (trials in plastic surgery [breast reconstruction, post-bariatric surgery, burns, chronic wounds, fat grafting], microsurgery, extremity trauma and replantation, aesthetic surgery/medicine) * Global Surgery & Advocacy * Surgical Education (design and evaluation of skill courses, simulation-based training, cadaver-based training, use of Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality in surgical education) * Biomedical Engineering (design and development of devices or technologies for wound care, tissue preservation, trauma care, surgical robotics, tissue imaging, and tissue diagnostics) * Software Engineering (mHealth applications in surgery, tele-surgery) * Art sciences (Medical illustrations)
Our team is committed to provide opportunities to UMMS students to both advance their education and produce scholarly work. Committment and goals are individually discussed and tailored based on the student's interests, goals, needs, and availability. Projects are commonly designed to be led by the student under guidance, and to result in a scientific publication authored by the student. For applications please contact: giorgio.giatsidis@umassmed.edu. Areas of specific interest include (but are not limited to): - Surgical Education - Global Surgery
