It is my pleasure to highlight an opportunity for a strongly motivated postdoc in the Centre for Molecular and Vascular Biology at KU Leuven, Belgium in the laboratory of Prof. Elizabeth Jones. The primary focus of the lab is on vascular biology, with a focus on vascular remodelling, arterial-venous differentiation, angiogenesis and vascular regression.
The candidate will have their own dedicated research project studying mechanotransduction and gene transcription networks in different tissue specific environments. You will work with biomedical engineers and experts on endothelial cell heterogeneity.
The lab is well-funded by prestigious grants including the recent H2020: CRUCIAL (MiCrovasculaR rarefaction in vascUlar Cognitive Impairment and heArt failure) and the FWO (Flemish research council) and ERA-CVD (European Research Area – Cardiovascular Disease).
