Since its establishment, the school has been at the forefront of medical education and has grown to include highly ranked programs in the health and biomedical sciences. With dozens of top-tier residency programs, SMHS is a competitive and esteemed destination for medical school graduates across the country. The group's main interests are advancing our understanding of the molecular and cellular pathological mechanisms of myasthenia gravis using innovative rodent models and cutting-edge technologies and developing antigen-specific immunosuppressive therapies for the disease. The research is highly interdisciplinary, relying on tools from molecular biology, biochemistry, structural biology, AI-based structure prediction, transgenic models, immunology, and neuroscience, but also including industrial collaboration. The laboratory of Dr. Jie Luo is seeking an experienced candidate at the rank of Senior Research Associate.
