Summary
A joint postdoc position is available in Drs. Meng Wang and Jin Wang's groups at Baylor College of Medicine (BCM). BCM is located in the world largest medical center and has access to enormous biomedical resources.
Dr. Meng Wang is a Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) Investigator and Robert C. Fyfe Endowed Professor in the Department of Molecular and Human Genetics and Huffington Center on Aging at Baylor College of Medicine. The research goals in Dr. Meng Wang's lab are to advance our knowledge on the fundamental mechanisms of organism aging, lipid metabolism and reproductive senescence. These intertwined biological processes exert profound influence on human health and are the major risk factors for various chronic and degenerative diseases. Her laboratory has been studying the molecular mechanisms governing these key biological processes and their complex interrelationship, by harnessing the power of functional genomics in Caenorhabditis elegans with metabolomics/lipodomics, chemical engineering and optical biophysics.
Dr. Jin Wang is Michael E. DeBakey, M.D., Professor in Pharmacology and CPRIT Scholar in Cancer Research in the Department of Pharmacology and Chemical Biology. The overarching goal for his research is to develop new therapies to improve human health and new tools for biological and biomedical research based on his unique experience in organic chemistry, chemical biology, drug discovery, and preclinical studies.
