Highly motivated individuals who can independently lead research programs with a strong background in biology or pathology or physiology or genomics and proteomics disciplines with specific experience in cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Areas of research of interest to RGCB include but are not limited to:
Cardiovascular Development (fundamental mechanisms regulating cardiovascular development and congenital defects including regulation of heart and blood vessel development, gene expression during cardiac development, cellular and molecular mechanisms of congenital malformations)
Cardiovascular Genetics and Genomics(investigations of the molecular mechanisms that play a role in heart disease, as well as efforts to develop genomic predictors and to incorporate genomic tools into clinical decision-making)
Cardiac Biochemistry(biochemical mechanisms and properties that underlie normal cardiovascular function as well as diseases such as heart failure)
Molecular mechanisms in heart disease:(investigating molecular and signaling mechanisms behind angiogenesis, vascular remodeling, heart failure, single cell level including mechanisms of control of ion channel and transporter activity, regulation of cell surface receptors and associated second messenger systems and viral pathogenesis in the myocardium).
Cardiac electrophysiology(basic mechanisms that underlie excitation in cardiac muscle in both normal heart function and arrhythmias)
Molecular, Cellular and Biochemical mechanisms in pathogenesis of diabetes(mechanisms involved in or with hyperglycemia, inflammation & diabetic tissue damage; transgenic animal models of diabetes, gene regulation studies, beta cell physiology and pathology, signaling by insulin and related hormones, molecular biology of obesity, creating a source of beta cells for both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes including transformation of stem cells to beta cells, factors that increase insulin resistance and impair glucose tolerance and effects of molecular stress on beta cells in type 2 diabetes)
