    Default job background
    Description


    We are seeking a highly motivated and organized individual to join us as a Lab Manager and Research Associate in Genomics and Heart Disease.

    In this role, the candidate will support three interrelated laboratories (Jesse Engreitz, Casey Gifford, and Xiaojie Qiu) in the Stanford Children's Heart Center Basic Science and Engineering Initiative and Department of Genetics, which are all located together in the Biomedical Innovations Building on Stanford main campus.


    Lab overview:
    Our overall mission is to leverage advances in genetics and genomics to cure children's heart diseases.

    In particular, DNA regulatory elements in the human genome, which harbor thousands of genetic risk variants for common and rare heart diseases and could reveal targets for therapeutics that aim to precisely tune cellular functions — if only we could map the complex regulatory wiring that connects 2 million regulatory elements with 21,000 genes in thousands of cell types in the human body.

    We have recently developed new approaches that could enable mapping this regulatory wiring at massive scale (see Fulco et al. Science 2016, Fulco et al. Nat Genet 2019, Nasser et al.

    Nature 2021), and applied these and other approaches to understand the genetic basis of congenital heart defects (Gifford et al.

    Science 2019, Schricker et al. Nature 2019, Ameen et al.

    bioRxiv We have now identified enhancers that contain disease variants that affect risk for congenital heart defects, and aim to study the functions of these enhancers in mouse models and human cardiac organoids.

    These studies will ultimately help to uncover biological mechanisms of congenital heart defects, and help to guide diagnosis and treatment for children with heart disease.

    We are looking for a creative and passionate person at any stage in their career to lead management of our combined experimental/computational laboratory.

    The Gifford, Engreitz, and Qiu Laboratories are located adjacent to one another and provide a dynamic, interdisciplinary workplace with unique access to cutting edge technologies and scientific thought, with the potential for widespread recognition of scientific contributions.

    We value a diversity of values, backgrounds, and approaches to solving problems.
