04/19/2023	Katharina Hopp, PhD	Dr. Katharina Hopp’s laboratory studies Autosomal Dominant PKD (ADPKD) pathomechanisms. ADPKD is the most common monogenic kidney disease worldwide with currently limited therapeutic options to alleviate disease .	Key Responsibilities: • Utilize PKD mouse models to delineate disease pathomechanisms (focus: immunology/metabolism). Includes: creating/maintaining/breeding mouse lines, preclinical studies, histopathological and physiological analyses. • Perform flow cytometry and multispectral imaging to understand cell type specific changes within PKD kidneys. • Establish/optimize in vitro, ex vivo culture systems to delineate detailed mechanisms of PKD. • Perform basic cellular, molecular techniques (Western blotting, PCR/qPCR, IHC/IF) and statistical analyses (Microsoft Excel/PRISM/JMP) to supplement in vivo experiments. • Develop/lead hypothesis driven research independently. • Aid in and independently write manuscripts/grants.

01/11/2023	Nancy F. Krebs	Nutrition – NIH T32 Research Fellowship T32DK007658-33	Individuals who have completed residency training, PhD or other terminal degree may apply for a research fellowship in nutrition. The objective of this program is to provide research training in the nutritional sciences to physician scientists, basic researchers, and behavioral scientists who are committed to prevention of disease and health promotion through careers in human nutrition. Nutrition Training Faculty provide the foundation of nutrition research. Areas of interest include obesity and energy balance; behavioral research related to eating & obesity; health promotion & nutrition education; implementation science; molecular, genetic, and environmental basis of insulin resistance and Type 2 diabetes; micronutrient homeostasis and effects of nutrient deficiency states; global nutrition; maternal and fetal nutrient utilization; fetal origins of adult disease, human aging; and the epidemiology of nutrition-related conditions	carolyn.doyle@cuanschutz.edu 303-724-5850
05/28/2021	Mary Weiser-Evans, PhD, FAHA	The Weiser-Evans laboratory uses fate-mapping genetic approaches combined with molecular analyses such as spatial transcriptomics, RNA-Seq, ChIP, and CyTOF mass cytometry to define mechanisms regulating cardiovascular disease progression.	In vivo mouse genetic approaches are complemented by in vitro studies. Human tissues are used to validate findings from pre-clinical studies in order to define the translational significance of our findings. Select projects include defining the role of PTEN promoter hypermethylation as a key regulator of cardiovascular disease progression as well as defining the mechanisms driving smooth muscle-to-stem cell reprogramming, determining the distinct functions of SMC-derived stem cells in the maintenance and repair of the vessel wall as well as their role in disease progression. Applicants should be highly motivated, detail-oriented, with excellent communication, writing, and organizational skills. Applicants must hold a Ph.D. or an equivalent degree in life sciences.
