The College Foundation Scholarships blood vasculature is a main player in numerous diseases such as cancer, diabetic retinopathy, atherosclerosis, stroke complications and rheumatoid arthritis. The main focus of the lab is to characterize functional properties of the perivascular mural cells in development, normal physiology, inflammation, diabetic retinopathy and cancer. We College Foundation Scholarships are investigating the regulation of the selective transport of molecules between blood and tissue in physiology and disease.
The College Foundation Scholarships work will include isolation and study of mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells and genetic manipulation of such. Also, an array of transgenic organisms will be analyzed by ex vivo and in vivo imaging of the vasculature.To qualify, the applicant must hold a doctor’s degree or a foreign qualification deemed equivalent to a doctorate in the field of molecular biology, biotechnology/engineering or similar.
