We investigate critical inflammatory pathways including GPCR (G protein-coupled receptor), DAMP (damage-associated molecular pattern), and NLRP3 inflammasome signaling, with the goal of elucidating immuno-regulatory mechanisms in vascular inflammatory diseases, especially pulmonary arterial hypertension and fibrotic wound healing. We employ multi-disciplinary approaches, including molecular biology, RNA sequencing, immunohistochemistry, flow cytometry, in vitro cell phenotype studies (polarization, proliferation, apoptosis, and motility), in vivo recombinant mouse models (overexpressing, knock-in and knock-out), hemodynamic analysis of rodent cardiovascular function (cardiac catheterization and pressure-volume loops), measurement of arterial remodeling, and assessments of tissue fibrosis and regeneration.

Our goal for the new postdoc fellow is to learn new skills and develop and build their CV to become an independent scientist or lab head in academia or industry.

Requirements:
- Have completed (or expect to receive) a Ph.D. or M.D./Ph.D. degree in biomedical fields.
- A strong track record of peer-reviewed publications is desirable.
- Experience with in vivo rodent models and in vitro cell culture is preferred.

- Ability to work independently (we will train you in new techniques needed for the projects if you don’t have experience with them).
- Ability to mentor graduate and undergraduate students.
Scientific Environment:
Our team is embedded in a rich and dynamic scientific "village" encompassing related groups with complementary expertise at Johns Hopkins. To translate our rodent and cell discoveries, we have strong collaborative relationships with cardiothoracic surgeons, pulmonary medicine physicians, dermatologists, pathologists, and prominent basic scientists to study human lung and skin tissues collected from patients with vascular inflammatory and fibrotic diseases. The new postdoc fellow will acquire the expertise and training in a nurturing academic setting that will help to build their own independent career studying human inflammatory diseases.

Employment at Johns Hopkins University:
The employment will be a position supported by the AHA and NIH (R01) grants. A 6-month trial period will be applied. The postdoctoral fellow salary will be based on NIH guidelines.

A Postdoctoral position is available for a determined, people-smart, and driven graduate with a solid training in immunology to contribute to the development of next generation immune tolerance promoting strategies for transplant rejection at Johns Hopkins University.

The VCA Lab (http://hopkinsmedicine.org/vca-lab) is a multi-disciplinary research laboratory standing on the pillars of transplant immunology and immunoregulation, regenerative medicine, cryopreservation, and nerve research. In the Transplant Immunology team, we focus on understanding novel mechanisms of T lymphocytes activation and regulation as well as deciphering the complex interactions with their environment during rejection (and autoimmunity). Recently, we have turned our attention to the thymus and its fundamental role in the removal of pathogenic T cells. We have started investigating the potential of engineering the composition of thymic epithelial cells with the goal of achieving selection of graft-reactive developing T cells and promote acceptance and protection of a transplanted organ. This funded project is revealing the existence of numerous unknown aspects of thymic epithelial cells immunology and potential control of alloreactivity. Under the guidance of Dr. Giorgio Raimondi, the postdoc will help unraveling mechanisms of engraftment and survival of thymic epithelial cells as they relate to their interaction with thymocytes. Thymic epithelial cell manipulation will extend to cell-type restricted gene engineering. Ultimately, and thanks to our group’s extensive micro-surgical expertise in rodent transplant models, the functional effect of different interventions on the repertoire of peripheral T cells and reactivity to a graft will be carefully elucidated. This project has a tremendous potential for the definition of bold new principles of therapeutic interventions that will extend beyond transplant rejection.

Our ideal candidate is a graduating student or junior postdoctoral fellow with the following characteristics:
- Has a strong background in immunology.
- Proficient in isolation of rodent cells and sterile tissue culture techniques of primary cells.
- Experienced in high parameter flow cytometry and other techniques like transcriptomic analysis, immunofluorescence microscopy, and basic molecular biology techniques.
- Excellent communicator, able to speak fluent English with great writing abilities.
Interested candidates should email: 1) a brief statement of how their research experience aligns to our focus, and 2) their CV to: g.raimondi AT jhmi.edu

Moreover, our unique micro-surgical expertise enables rapid progression from basic rodent models to translational large animal studies. Under the guidance of Dr. Giorgio Raimondi and other outstanding collaborating scientists, the postdoc will help unraveling novel mechanisms of innate signaling that contribute to the activation of anti-graft T cells and that could become lead targets of novel intervention strategies. Moreover, the fellow will be closely involved in the engineering and optimization of drug delivery strategies for effective implementation of the targeting strategies devised by the studies.
