Join Dr. Athanasia Panopoulos and her research group as a Postdoctoral Scientist in the Cedars-Sinai Regenerative Medicine Institute

The Cedars-Sinai Board of Governors Regenerative Medicine Institute brings together research faculty and clinicians to provide a true "bench to bedside" organization.

Regenerative medicine is a new and developing field that aims to restore function in diseased or aged tissues through either revitalizing existing cells or transplanting new ones.

At the Board of Governors Regenerative Medicine Institute, researchers are turning stem cells into therapies for treating a multitude of prevalent diseases and conditions.

The Panopoulos Laboratory at the Cedars-Sinai Regenerative Medicine Institute is seeking a highly motivated postdoc to join our new, dynamic research group.

The laboratory studies fundamental and clinically relevant research questions that are at the intersection of the fields of stem cell biology, blood cell development, and cancer.

Are you ready to be a part of breakthrough research?

The long-term research goals of the Panopoulos Laboratory are to harness the power of stem cells to provide innovative and clinically relevant advances in targeted cancer therapeutics and regenerative medicine.

Our work focuses on utilizing human somatic cell reprogramming to identify and target novel embryonic mechanisms that are exploited in cancer, and as an avenue to discover fundamental aspects of normal and aberrant hematopoietic development.
