There is an immediate opening for a ResearchScientist position in Dr. Huimin Yu's laboratory. Dr. Yu's research focuses on the pathological significance of the impaired gut-fat axis in IBD. Using mouse models, human intestinal organoids, and adipose stem cell culture, she has been investigating the molecular crosstalk between intestinal inflammation and mesenteric fat in IBD, including the role of so-called "creeping fat" in Crohn's disease. Her recently published findings suggest a phenotypic and mechanistic causal relationship between a novel adipokine and intestinal inflammation. She hopes that her work in this area will facilitate the development of novel, adipose tissue-based IBD therapies.
