In each of these projects, the successful applicant will have an opportunity to utilize comparative biology approaches as well as implement bidirectional translation, working across biological scale from primary mechanism of action through studies of human samples/subjects. The successful applicant will be strongly encouraged to develop their own ideas and seek extramural funding - F32, K99/R00, and foundation grants will be strongly supported, building upon prior success of this laboratory.
