Postdoctoral Fellow Positions<\/strong><\/p>\n

Location:<\/strong>
\nCenter for Shock, Trauma and Anesthesiology Research (STAR Center)
\nR Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center
\nUniversity of Maryland School of Medicine
\nBaltimore, MD<\/p>\n

Projects:<\/strong>
\nTo study the role of extracellular miRNAs and EVs in regulating innate immunity and inflammatory
\nresponses in critical illness \u2013 trauma, sepsis, ischemic organ injury.<\/p>\n

Funding:<\/strong>
\nNIGMS, NINDS, NHLBI, National Science Foundation, US Air Force<\/p>\n

Position Description:<\/strong>
\nThe STAR Center is a world-class, multi-disciplinary research and educational center focusing on critical
\ncare and organ support, resuscitation, surgical outcomes, patient safety and injury prevention. We are
\ncurrently seeking highly trained and motivated postdoctoral fellows to join our Translational Research
\nProgram to investigates the role of extracellular vesicles (EVs) and microRNA-mediated innate immune
\nsignaling in 1) sepsis-associated brain inflammation and cognitive dysfunction, 2) acute lung injury, 3)
\ncoagulopathy in sepsis and trauma, and 4) cardiac ischemia injury. These translational projects involve
\nboth humans and animals.<\/p>\n
