5. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Michigan is seeking applications for a Postdoctoral Research Fellow position under the guidance of Dr. James Weiland. The position offers an opportunity to work on next generation retinal prosthesis with an interdisciplinary team of scientists, engineers, and clinicians.

6. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
One line of research in the lab focuses on understanding the response to bisphosphonates (BPs), commonly prescribed drugs used to treat osteoporosis a condition that becomes of increasing importance as the world population ages. While BPs are generally safe, some patients do not respond well to these drugs and these drugs are associated with osteonecrosis of the jaw and atypical femoral fractures, but the cause of this variation in drug response isn’t known. To shed light on this, we have previously used genome-wide CRISPR screens to identify over 300 genes that affect the response to BPs. We discovered that two genes with large effects, ATRAID and SLC37A3, are essential for the lysosomal release of BP. We are currently investigating the endogenous function of these proteins, as well as genes connected to other pathways that control the response to BPs. We have collaborations with clinicians and human geneticists to understand how variations in these genes might explain the variable response in patients to these commonly prescribed, widely available drugs.

14. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
Our lab is interested in understanding the mechanisms by which the lung epithelium responds to injury. We study mechanisms of injury/inflammation and regeneration after injury. Epithelial injury and a failure of epithelial regeneration is thought to drive the development of lung diseases such as ARDS (including COVID-19), fibrosis, and emphysema. Specifically, we are exploring the mechanisms underlying proliferation and differentiation of alveolar epithelial progenitor or stem cells. We have identified ?-catenin, HIF, and TGF? signaling as important drivers. We also study the epithelial inflammatory and host defense responses to bacterial and viral infection, specifically epithelial-immune cell crosstalk.
