The OpportunityAn immediate Postdoctoral Research Scientist position is available in the laboratory of Dr. Sebastián A. Riquelme at Columbia University Irving Medical Center in New York. The mission of Dr. Riquelme lab is to understand how metabolism determines the outcome of infectious diseases. We apply cutting-edge OMICs technologies, such as single-cell RNA-Seq, dual RNA-Seq, metabolomics, genome sequencing and proteomics to dissect host-pathogen crosstalk, putting emphasis on the immunometabolic pathways exploited by opportunists to thrive in the human lung. Our group studies Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacterial diseases, using both laboratory strains and clinical isolates obtained from the lung of acutely and chronically infected subjects.
