Job Title

Job Description _Roles & Responsibilities:_ A postdoctoral fellow position is available in the new laboratory of Dr. Liheng Wang, at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City. Dr. Wang is looking for postdoctoral candidates with strong skill sets in metabolism, biochemistry, cell biology and the enthusiasm to establish a highly collaborative, friendly team. The ongoing research in Dr.Wangu2019s lab focus on the transcriptional regulation of hepatic glucose and lipid metabolism in the context of type 2 diabetes (T2D), obesity and Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD). Combining DNA pulldown and mass spectrometry techniques, they have discovered several new transcription factors that potentially regulate hepatic glucose and lipid metabolism. They will further explore the functions of these transcription factors on the transcriptional regulation of liver metabolism, to explore and understand the underlying mechanisms at the molecular, cellular, tissue, and physiological levels, and eventually to develop efficient and safe interventions for preventing and treating metabolic diseases. Her recent publications include Cell Metabolism, Journal of Hepatology, Journal of Clinical Investigation etc (/bibliography/public/). The common technologies used in the lab include transgenic mouse models, human genetics, metabolic studies, stem cell biology, next generation sequencing, and a variety of molecular and cell biology techniques. Her group will work collaboratively with other groups in Diabetes, Obesity, and Metabolism Institute (DOMI) and other divisions at Mount Sinai, as well as other universities in New York City (e.g. Columbia University, Weill Cornell, Albert Einstein School of Medicine). For further information, please contact Dr. Wang (). _Requirements:_ Laboratory: u2022 Plan and execute studies to assess mouse metabolic phenotypes and liver metabolism. u2022 Adapt and apply methods to study hepatocyte glucose and lipid metabolism in vitro and in vivo. u2022 Apply methods/new techniques to investigate the molecular mechanisms on transcriptional regulation, signaling transduction and pathogenesis of T2D and NAFLD. u2022 Work with other team members to manage animal colony.
