Seeking self‑motivated individual to work in a developmental glial biology lab of Dr. Hyun Kyoung Lee, Principal Investigator at the Jan and Dan Duncan Neurological Research Institute at Texas Children’s Hospital/Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, TX, US.
HK Lee laboratory will focus on identifying novel molecular signaling pathways and regulation in glial cell development. Based on these developmental studies, the lab will translate developmentally derived findings to associated disorders to develop therapeutic interventions. To achieve this goal, the lab will utilize molecular and cellular approaches in conjunction with classic genetic manipulation in mouse models and an array of CNS injury models, which will ultimately be applied to human neurological disorders.
