Postdoctoral Fellow – Bone Tissue Vascularization during Repair & Regeneration
Organization: University of Rochester Medical Center (URMC)
Department/Center: Center for Musculoskeletal Research; Department of Orthopaedics & Rehabilitation
Location: Rochester, New York, USA
Position Overview
NIH-funded postdoctoral position to study bone tissue vascularization during repair and regeneration. The work integrates bone tissue engineering, vascular biology, skeletal biology, and advanced technologies (multiphoton microscopy, light-sheet microscopy, spatial transcriptomics, 3D printing) to uncover mechanisms of specialized blood-vessel formation in bone repair and to develop new therapeutic strategies.
