- The Laboratories of Casey Gifford (Depts of Genetics and Pediatrics) and Jesse Engreit (Dept of Genetics) are seeking a Research Scientist (Life Science Research Professional 3) focusing on human and mouse genetics, genome editing, and genomics to lead a project to understand the genetic basis of congenital heart defects.
- The Gifford and Engreitz Laboratories are located in the Biomedical Innovations Building on the main campus at Stanford University and are members of the BASE Initiative in the Betty Irene Moore Children’s Heart Center, a collaboration with Drs. Mark Skylar-Scott (Dept of Bioengineering) and Marlene Rabinovitch (Dept of Pediatrics).
- Project overview: DNA regulatory elements in the human genome, which harbor thousands of genetic risk variants for common and rare heart diseases and could reveal targets for therapeutics that aim to precisely tune cellular functions — if only we could map the complex regulatory wiring that connects 2 million regulatory elements with 21,000 genes in thousands of cell types in the human body.
- Make fundamental discoveries about gene regulation and the genetics of cardiovascular disease.
- Ph. D. in Biology, Biochemistry, Biophysics, Genetics, Bioengineering, Developmental Biology, or related life science field is preferred.
