A full time Postdoctoral Fellow position is available in the laboratory of Dr. Chenran Wang in the Department of Cancer Biology, University of Cincinnati College of Medicine. The postdoctoral position is dedicated to study the roles of astrocyte in regulating neurogenesis of tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC). The Wang laboratory also focuses on the functions and mechanisms of selective autophagy and lipid metabolisms in development and neurogenesis of postnatal neural stem cells.
