About this position
FDA National Center for Toxicological Research (NCTR) is offering an ORISE postdoctoral fellowship in hepatotoxicity and new approach methodologies (NAMs).
The project focuses on evaluating established and emerging liver toxicity biomarkers in NAM platforms, including liver microtissues and liver-on-a-chip systems. The goal is to develop translational biomarkers that can be reliably measured in NAMs to predict chemical-induced liver toxicity in humans.
The fellow will participate in experimental design, test selected chemicals in NAM models, draft technical reports, meeting abstracts, and manuscripts, and gain experience conducting research in a regulatory agency environment. Training includes culturing primary human liver cells, treating cells with human-relevant chemical concentrations, and assessing toxicity using biochemical assays of enzyme activity.
Mentor: Qiang Shi ([email protected]). Location: U.S. Food and Drug Administration, National Center for Toxicological Research, Jefferson, Arkansas, United States.

The opportunity is open to U.S. citizens, lawful permanent residents, and eligible foreign nationals.
