Under the direction of Principal Investigator, Dr. Tania Wong, the Postdoctoral Research Scientist will perform standard laboratory procedures and analyses to support specialized research initiatives within the laboratory. Dr. Wong's research is dedicated to understanding the impact of host-pathogen metabolic interactions on the outcomes of infections by both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Our approach is inherently translational, encompassing the utilization of laboratory strains and clinical (host-adapted) isolates in both in vitro and in vivo infection models to address questions with clinical significance.

We employ cutting-edge omics technologies, such as single-cell RNA-Seq, dual RNA-Seq, metabolomics, mass spectrometry imaging and proteomics to dissect the intricate interplay between host and pathogen. We focus particularly on the immunometabolic pathways exploited by bacterial pathogens to establish themselves in the human lung. If you are passionate about advancing our understanding of host-pathogen interactions and have the expertise and enthusiasm to contribute to our research endeavors, we invite you to apply for this Postdoctoral Research Scientist position.
