MSc and PhD Students, Patel Lab
The Patel lab is seeking highly motivated and passionate individuals to join the cutting-edge research laboratory in the field of cardiovascular diseases. Fully-funded PhD and MSc positions are available in our lab to advance our understanding of the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying key cardiovascular conditions, including myocardial infarction, atherosclerosis, aortic aneurysm, and heart failure. Our research focuses on unraveling the molecular mechanisms involved in these diseases with a particular emphasis on the mitochondrial dynamics and intercellular (and inter-organ) crosstalks. We employ a multidisciplinary approach, integrating transgenic animal models, advanced cellular and molecular biology approaches, omics, and human-derived specimens to study the translation of experimental findings into potential clinical applications. The Patel Lab is committed to bridging the gap between basic research and clinical practice by validating preclinical findings in human samples, ensuring that our discoveries are both scientifically robust and clinically relevant.
· Candidates with a basic understanding of Cardiac Physiology and anatomy and/or experience working with cardiovascular disease models will be preferred.
· Must be willing to work with murine models.
· Candidates are required to have demonstrated capacity to work effectively in a collaborative and interdisciplinary environment.
