The Lindsay laboratory of the Cardiovascular Research Center in collaboration with the Musolino Laboratory at the Center for Genomic Medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, seeks an exceptional candidate for the position of research technician to implement studies involving cellular and animal models of rare cardiovascular diseases. The Lindsay Lab is primarily interested in the clinical expression and molecular etiology of human aortic aneurysm. Aneurysm represents the anatomic expression of aortic organ failure with dilation and eventual tear; an event termed "dissection" associated with high mortality. In our research we use human and murine genetics as well as animal modeling to investigate the etiology and pathologic progression of inherited and sporadic aortic disease. Through our findings we hope to discover better diagnostics and novel therapies for patients with aneurysmal conditions. Interested candidates should include a CV and cover letter in their application.
