About this position
The Penn State College of Medicine is offering a postdoctoral position in the Department of Medicine in Hershey, Pennsylvania within the newly established Sleep-Vascular Program led by Dr. Rami Khayat. The program investigates the pathways linking obstructive sleep apnea with hypertension and endothelial dysfunction, with a strong emphasis on how intermittent hypoxia affects human physiology and tissue responses.
The postdoctoral scholar will take a leading role in a translational project that connects patient-based cardiovascular physiology with mechanistic experiments in human tissue and endothelial cell models. The research spans molecular and physiological approaches, including studies of nitric oxide biology in human endothelial tissue, quantitative RNA measurements, immunohistochemistry, confocal imaging, HPLC-based measurements, enzymatic assays, and chemiluminescence development. The position also involves in-vivo human work such as skin biopsy techniques, endothelial reactivity measurements, echocardiography, microneurography of sympathetic nerve activity, and microdialysis.
The scholar will participate in cardiovascular physiology studies alongside a dedicated vascular physiology team and will lead ex-vivo and in-vitro experiments under intermittent hypoxia exposure. The project is part of newly NIH-funded work and also incorporates mathematical modeling and machine learning applied to tissue hypoxia models, sleep study data, and molecular markers. The role includes collaboration with a senior project manager who oversees wet-lab operations and involves interaction with patient volunteers in a clinical research environment.
