Heart Regeneration

Welcome to Cao Lab at Weill Cornell Medical College

The Cao Lab is part of the Cardiovascular Research Institute (CVRI) and the Department of Cell and Developmantal Biology at ​Weill Cornell Medical College. Using zebrafish as a model, we aim at dissecting how natural heart regeneration is regulated at the cellular and molecular level, and how the generalizable findings can be applied in other regenerative contexts.The lab uses a combination of zebrafish model, explant tissue culture, high-throughput sequencing, chemical screening, live imaging, and genome editing approaches (such as CRISPR/Cas9). 

A postdoc position is available! Highly motivated individuals with interests in the field of tissue regeneration, heart disease and repair, and zebrafish model are encouraged to apply. The candidates with research experience in cell biology, developmental biology, and animal models are preferred, but not required. Candidates must hold a Ph.D. degree or equivalent. The successful applicants will join a dynamic team of scientists at CVRI and benefit from the unique, collaborative Tri-Institutional research environment (Weill Cornell Medical College, The Rockefeller University, and the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center). Weill Cornell Medical College offers subsidized housing and excellent benefits. Please send a cover letter describing your research background, interests, career goals, alongside a CV and names and contact information of three references in a single PDF file to jic4001@med.cornell.edu.
