    Description

    A Research Associate position is available in Dr. Yi Zhu's lab ) in the Children's Nutrition Research Center (CNRC) at Baylor College of Medicine. The objective of the research in Dr. Yi Zhu's laboratory is to understand the basic biology of the adipose tissue and the liver in the effort to develop new concepts and biologics to treat diseases related to over-nutrition. Currently, our focused research areas are: 1) The gap junction-dependent and -independent functions of the Connexin43 protein in adipocyte metabolism, adipokine secretion, milk production, and the communication of adipocytes with other types of cells within the depot. We apply basic scientific discoveries to develop biologics that concurrently engage adipocyte metabolism and gap junction activity to improve the efficacy of the starting molecule. (Cell Metab. 2016, 24, 420–433, and APSB. 2022, In Press); 2) Hyaluronic acid (HA) production, hepatic clearance, and its role in modulating metabolism and liver fibrogenesis. We place a special emphasis on the effects of HA in modulating the immune function of the liver during the pathogenesis of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and its role in intrahepatic communication among hepatic sinusoidal endothelial cells, Kupffer cells, and stellate cells. (Sci. Trans Med. 2016, 8, 323ps4, Matrix Biol. 2019, 78-79, , and Nat. Commun. 2021, 12 (1), 1-15.)
