About this position
The Henry M. Jackson Foundation for the Advancement of Military Medicine is seeking a Postdoctoral Fellow to support Dr. Kathleen Pratt’s laboratory in the Department of Medicine at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences in Bethesda, Maryland.
The interdisciplinary lab studies proteins and mechanisms involved in hemostasis, with a strong translational focus on developing technologies for trauma resuscitation. A recently launched research direction involves generating and characterizing induced pluripotent stem cell-derived platelets engineered to express supraphysiological levels of clotting or fibrinolytic factors. These engineered platelet systems are being investigated as potential agents for improving trauma care.
The fellow will initiate and carry out research projects in collaboration with the laboratory team, pursue a focused line of inquiry, and contribute to manuscript development. The research environment combines cellular, molecular, biochemical, biophysical and imaging approaches to investigate clotting biology and therapeutic applications.
Experimental methods include standard cell culture, flow cytometry, biochemical and biophysical assays, gene-editing techniques, microfluidic analysis of clotting kinetics, confocal and multiphoton microscopy, and other hemostasis-related assays. The position offers experience in interdisciplinary biomedical research connected to military medicine and clinically relevant trauma-resuscitation challenges.
