Research Associate I - Sharma Lab - Regenerative Medicine Institute

Join Dr. Arun Sharma and his research group as a Research Associate I in the Cedars-Sinai Regenerative Medicine Institute!

• The Sharma Laboratory at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Regenerative Medicine Institute is looking for personnel to join our new and dynamic group.
• The mission of the Board of Governors Regenerative Medicine Institute aims to prevent and treat the world's most prevalent diseases through cell revitalization and transplantation.
• Work in the laboratory of Arun Sharma, PhD, focuses on applying human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) to model cardiovascular diseases in vitro.
• The lab utilizes cutting-edge technologies, including hiPSCs, CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing, cardiac microfluidic organ-chips and cardiac organoids in our studies.
• Specifically, we have used hiPSC-derived cardiomyocytes (heart muscle cells) to model cardiac viral infections during COVID-19, examine developmental mechanisms underlying congenital heart disease and understand ways to alleviate cardiac toxicity caused by cancer drugs.
• In our ongoing studies, we have a unique background and interest in space biology, notably exploring ways in which stem cell biology can intersect with this emerging field.
