research project to study bone tissue vascularization, repair and
regeneration and the role of p21 based cellular senescence
regulating these processes. The research program integrates bone
tissue regeneration, vascular biology, and skeletal biology with an
emphasis on molecular and cellular control of bone specialized
blood vessel formation during repair and regeneration. The
successful candidate will work with a team of scientists to study
cellular heterogeneity using CyTOF during clinical radiotherapy and
age- related bone deterioration, and interaction with mesenchymal
and hematopoietic cells utilizing genetic, histologic, imaging and
flow cytometric approaches. The candidate will have access to
cutting-edge imaging, genetic and bioinformatics cores/facilities
to understand mechanisms of bone repair and regeneration. The
project is in collaboration with the Department of Radiation
Oncology, and project outcomes have potential clinical implications
which can be translated in a short span of time. Qualified

research on musculoskeletal system or tissue regeneration •
Extensive experience in standard cellular and molecular biology
techniques including cell culture, DNA and RNA isolation, RT-PCR,
molecular cloning, Western Blot, ELISA, flow cytometry etc. •
Potential experience or interest in bone biology, molecular
biology, vascular biology, mouse husbandry and genotyping, mouse
work including survival surgeries, histology/immunohistochemistry
and confocal imaging. • A publication track record with written and
verbal communication skills. • Prepared to collaborate on
multidisciplinary research projects. • The ability to supervise
research trainees and/or technicians • The ability to communicate
