Postdoctoral Research Fellow

Cincinnati, United States Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center Full time

The Brugmann Lab is looking for a postdoctoral fellow interested in combining developmental and computational biology to further our understanding of craniofacial development and disease.

Craniofacial abnormalities (CFAs) are associated with approximately one-third of all birth defects. Patients with a CFA represent a biomedical burden nearly 45 times higher than unaffected children; and in the U.S. alone, the lifetime cost for treating children born with CFAs is approximately $697 million per year. The Brugmann laboratory focuses on understanding the molecular, cellular, and genetic factors that guide craniofacial development. To do so, we have focused on the function of the primary cilium, a ubiquitous, microtubule-based organelle used by all cells to integrate and transduce molecular signals. We aim to elucidate how primary cilia function during facial development and uncover how basic cellular processes are impacted when cilia are impaired. To achieve this goal, we generate and analyze large data sets (RNA-seq, ChIP-seq, CUT&RUN) from animal (murine and avian) and human (iPSC) ciliopathic models.
