The Marth laboratory has a Postdoctoral Associate position available.
The Dr. Marth's laboratory research is centered upon protein glycosylation in the cell biology of disease. The lab develops and applies biomedical nanotechnologies in discovering how protein glycosylation participates in the metabolic origins and mechanisms of syndromes including diabetes, autoimmunity, inflammation, cancer, and sepsis. The incorporation of various nanotechnologies into biomedical research is becoming important in the investigation of diseases caused by metabolic and environmental factors that reflect template-independent non-genetic mechanisms.
