The lab of Christopher Chen, M.D., Ph.D., William Fairfield Warren Distinguished Professor and Founding Director of the Biological Design Center at Boston University, as well as Core Faculty at the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering at Harvard University seeks outstanding postdoctoral applicants with knowledge and expertise encompassing stem cell biology, synthetic biology and genetic engineering, and in vivo engraftment, vascularization, and function.
The project focuses on investigating the development of engineered products to address liver failure. The proposed solution is built on several next generation technologies, including tools to drive inducible pluripotent stem cell differentiation into cells of the liver, immune engineering to allow allogeneic cells to evade immune rejection, and bio fabrication technologies to build engineered constructs.
