Graduate Student position
Mechanisms in Pathological Angiogenesis
Cutaneous Biology Research Center, Department of Dermatology, Massachusetts General Hospital/Harvard Medical School, Boston
Laboratory of Angiogenesis and Inflammation, Dr. Alexander G. Marneros,
Assistant Professor of Dermatology, Harvard Medical School
We are using genetic mouse models to investigate molecular mechanisms in postnatal angiogenesis in several pathological processes, including wound healing. A focus in the laboratory is to study the role of inflammatory cells for abnormal blood vessel formation.
Conditional gene targeting strategies in mice and in vivo analyses are used to precisely determine mechanisms in pathological blood vessel formation and the contributions of distinct cell populations during this process.
- strong background in molecular biology
- Comfortable in working with mice 


- Ability to work independently within a dynamic team



- Able to start position ASAP
