Jalili Lab Farmington CT

Division of Digestive Diseases Hepatology and Nutrition Connecticut Childrens

The Jalili Lab/Connecticut Childrens GI collaboration is seeking a highly motivated and talented postdoctoral fellow to join our team. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to work on cuttingedge research projects related to establishing an in vitro gastrointestinal host immunemicrobiome culture model for disease modeling and therapeutic development. The project involves multiple technologies including organoid engineering organonachip platforms microfluidics and microbiome science for modeling intestinal inflammatory conditions such as Crohns disease ulcerative colitis celiac disease and eosinophilic esophagitis. We will use mouse and patientderived cells/organoids and microbiomes in concert with our complex Organ Chip models to study the underlying mechanisms of these diseases and the role of immune cells in regulating and responding to intestinal microbiota. The postdoctoral scientist will help lead an exciting project that applies to a broad range of cuttingedge technologies such as OrganonaChip development organoid culture microbiome sequencing singlecell transcriptomics metagenomics and proteomics. This position also leverages collaboration between clinicians and investigators at the Jackson Laboratory Connecticut Childrens and UConn Health. The ideal candidate should have a strong background in biomedical engineering organoid culture and immunology. Prior research experience in gastroenterology is preferred.

JAXhas a vibrant and interactive research and training environment characterized by multidisciplinary scientific collaboration unparalleled mouse resources and outstanding core services. In addition to labbased training JAX has developed a unique program for trainees to expand their professional skills in science communication entrepreneurship teaching mentoring and laboratory management to best prepare postdocs for future career opportunities. In Connecticut JAX resides in the scenic town of Farmington in the states capitol region. The Hartford region which offers some of the best public schools in the country is made up of both bigger cities and smaller charming historic New England towns. JAX Genomic Medicine is also geographically located within 1.52 hours of Boston and New York and is close to multiple transportation systems including bus lines highways railroads and international airports.

The clinical component collaborating on these projects is the Division of Digestive Diseases Hepatology and Nutrition at Connecticut Childrens. The Division currently has 15 physicians 3 research coordinators and 6 dieticians. It sees over 15000 patient visits per year and currently cares for 900 patients with Crohns disease or ulcerative colitis 500 with celiac disease and 500 with eosinophilic esophagitis. The Division is led by Dr. Jeffrey Hyams the current coPI of the $14M NIHsupported CAMEO study: Clinical imaging and endoscopic outcomes of children newly diagnosed with Crohns disease.
