Job Summary
The Blanchard Laboratory at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai is seeking passionate and highly motivated individuals to join our team working on a funded NASA-supported research program investigating how spaceflight and environmental stressors influence the human brain and neurodegenerative disease risk. Researchers will work closely with members of the laboratory to engineer iPSC-derived vascular and multicellular 3D models of the human brain and apply these platforms to study mechanisms underlying Alzheimers disease and related neurodegenerative disorders. These models are also being adapted for spaceflight experiments on the International Space Station providing a unique opportunity to participate in cutting-edge work at the intersection of stem cell biology neuroscience and space medicine. The successful candidate will contribute to the generation and characterization of human stem cellderived brain models and will assist with experimental workflows supporting both ground-based and spaceflight studies.
Responsibilities
- Culturing and maintaining human iPSC lines and derived cell types
- Generating and maintaining 3D brain and vascular models
- Performing microscopy-based analysis and experimental assays
- Assisting with the design execution and analysis of experiments
- Preparing specialized culture media and reagents Maintaining inventories of stem cell reagents and laboratory supplies
- Managing cryopreserved cell line stocks stored in liquid nitrogen
- Supporting laboratory organization and experimental documentation This position works closely with the lab director postdoctoral fellows and graduate students in a collaborative research environment.
