Under the direction of the Principal Investigators (PIs) and applicable sponsors, is responsible for planning and operationally leading the multi-site coordination of research trials from initiation to completion in compliance with applicable regulations and requirements. Manages trial budgets and implements and oversees systems to manage the conduct of the clinical trials and the flow of information among stakeholders and sites.

Develops, improves, and implements laboratory techniques and performs complex experiments or tests to contribute to the timely and accurate completion of the research project(s). The Pradhan-Sundd Lab has research interests in the following areas: The role of hemolysis in sickle cell disease organ injury:Hemolysis is a key characteristic of sickle cell disease (SCD) that contributes to the disease pathogenesis and clinical heterogeneity. In SCD, cell free hemoglobin and its byproducts (heme and iron) cause vasculopathy as well as a slew of clinical consequences, including liver failure. Although liver injury affects up to ~40% of hospitalized SCD patients, therapeutic approaches to prevent liver injury in SCD are limited. In the Pradhan-Sundd lab we are interested in...

Under the direction of a Principal Investigator, further develops and expands understanding of scientific theory in his/her area of interest. Incumbent also learns and applies scientific laboratory techniques and gains experience in other areas of research that will lead to increased probability of success as an independent scientist. This is a training position with an expected duration of 1 – 3 years.  At the crossroads of metabolism, immunity, and aging The Xian lab’s long-term goal is to enhance immune therapies by uncovering how mitochondrial stress activates the immune system. We focus on how mitochondria-released danger signals—known as danger-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs)—shape immunity. In particular, we study circulating oxidized mitochondrial DNA (Ox-mtDNA),...

Provides data analysis, integration, and development of new computational methods to analyze and integrate genome wide datasets from transcriptome, epigenomic, and other types of functional genomics-based approaches.

Transfusion Medicine Faculty Positions in Basic and/or Translational ResearchWe seek to grow our Transfusion Medicine, Vascular Biology and Cell Therapy Program by recruiting innovative investigators with research interests in transfusion medicine and related fields such as cell therapy, gene therapy, glycobiology, and vascular biology. Applicants at all academic ranks with Ph.D., M.D., or equivalent degrees are encouraged to apply. Ideal candidates will develop or maintain independently funded basic and/or translational research programs. For physician-scientists, clinical transfusion medicine duties (up to 20% effort) may include blood bank oversight, transfusion consultations, therapeutic apheresis, and quality assurance activities. These positions provide attractive start-up...
