Postdoc Research Scholar- Nascone-Yoder Lab at North Carolina State University at Raleigh, Raleigh, NC
The Postdoctoral Researcher will conduct independent research focusing on the development of anatomical left-right asymmetry. Specifically, the incumbent will investigate the cellular and molecular mechanisms of left-right asymmetric organ morphogenesis within the developing digestive tract. Research methodologies will utilize advanced gene misexpression strategies (CRISPR/morpholino oligonucleotides), transcriptomics (bulk and/or spatial), 3D imaging modalities (nano-CT), and/or computational modeling (CompuCell3D).
