Vacancy ID: PDS004288Position Summary/Description: A position for a motivated postdoctoral or equivalent level of research fellow is open in the laboratory of Dr. Nobuyo Maeda in the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at the University of North Carolina – Chapel Hill. Our research aims to gain mechanistic insights into how quantitative variants of genetic factors are involved in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular/kidney disease and their outcomes. By far the most common genetic variations cause only small differences in the steady-state amounts of gene products rather than structural changes or compete lack of proteins. Individual effect of each quantitative variant could be little but still modifies disease progression. O
