postdoctoral position within the laboratory of Kalpna Gupta to work
on projects related to the pathobiology of pain, neuroinflammation
and vascular dysfunction. A major focus of this position will be to
utilize various imaging modalities to identify and quantify
variations in inflammatory, vascular and neuronal activation in
vitro and an established mouse model of sickle cell disease and
cancer. This will be accomplished using a variety of technologies
including pain behaviors, confocal microscopy imaging, live calcium
imaging, mast cell and neuronal cell culture, cell and molecular
biology and analysis with ELISA. This position will involve method
development, data analysis and preparing the data for presentation
and publication.
