About this position
The Jin Lab at the University of Maryland, College Park is recruiting PhD students to study the role of E-cadherin in intestinal stem cell regeneration.
The project uses Cre-loxP conditional mouse models and intestinal organoids to investigate mechanisms that regulate intestinal stem cells and gut tissue repair. Students will work with experimental animal models and organoid culture systems in a research environment focused on intestinal biology, regeneration, and gut health.
The lab is led by Younggeon Jin, Assistant Professor in the Department of Animal and Avian Sciences. Openings are available for Spring 2027 domestic applicants and Fall 2027 domestic and international applicants.
