The Center for Translational Medicine <https://ctm.umaryland.edu/#/> at the University of Maryland Baltimore School of Pharmacy <https://www.pharmacy.umaryland.edu/> is looking to hire a Systems Biology post-doc to support a joint UCSF-UMB grant from the Gates Foundation.
Briefly, the project goal is to develop a large animal neuroprotective preclinical platform to help test and translate lead drug candidates for the prevention and/or treatment of birth asphyxia. Building on our collaborative and extensive experience studying sheep models of fetal, neonatal and pediatric cardiovascular and pulmonary disease states, as well as our expertise investigating newborn brain injury, we aim to produce a clinically relevant model of birth asphyxia (BA) using well-established protocols. Additionally, based on our clinical pharmacology expertise we aim to integrate physiologically-based pharmacokinetic modeling and systems biology approaches to maximize translational success in the target neonatal population. The position is for 2 years and the pay scale will be based on NIH guidelines. Apply now by sending: 1. letter describing your interests; and 2. latest CV to Prof Gobburu (jgobb...@rx.umaryland.edu) *Joga Gobburu* *Executive Director & Professor, Center for Translational Medicine* *University of Maryland, Baltimore.* -- ~Vijay
