Centro de Investigación Cardiovascular, CSIC-ICCC
Barcelona, Spain
Description
The Vascular Biology Research Group at Cardiovascular Research Center (CSIC-ICCC) seeks for a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher for applying to the Sara Borrell Program. The position involves working with a trans-disciplinary team of scientists studying the pathophysiological basis underlying atheros-clerosis and other cardivovascular diseases such as abdominal aortic aneurysm. Our group has been pioneer involving new genes in endothelial activation and atherosclerotic plaque progression promoted by low-density lipoproteins (LDL) and other pro-atherogenic factors, as well as identifying vasculoprotective mechanisms elicited by high-density lipoproteins (HDL). Our studies are focused in the characterization of nuclear receptors and transcription factors involved in the onset and progression of atherothrombotic disease and in the role of extracellular matrix modifying enzymes in atherosclerosis deve-lopment and aneurysm progression. The position involves working with transgenic animal models recently developed by our group and vascular cell cultures using molecular and cellular biology techniques.
Requirements
Candidates with Ph.D in Biology, Biochemistry, Biotechnology, Pharmacy or similar and a competitive cv (including first author publications,experience in international research centers) are invited to apply. Preference will be given to candidates with previous experience in cardiovascular research.
