Research Assistant I/II - Neurology (Manwani Lab)

<div>Dr. Ju's lab is seeking a Research Assistant II within the Department of Anesthesiology. Our lab performs basic and translational research in the following key areas: 1. Tissue Injury and Repair: the inflammatory response after tissue injury has both beneficial and detrimental roles and is tightly regulated; however, the underlying mechanism of such regulation is unclear. 2. Cancer Immunotherapy: the tumor microenvironment plays a critical role in not only tumor growth but also responses to immunotherapies. A better understanding of the molecular and cellular players could lead to the identification of novel therapeutic targets. 3. Gut-Liver Axis in Liver Diseases: disturbances of the gut microbiota and the intestinal innate immune system could increase the susceptibility to acute and chronic liver injuries; however, the mechanism is not fully understood.
