Vascular Surgery/Diabetes Center of Excellence
The Nguyen Lab at the University of Massachusetts Chan Medical School is seeking a highly motivated and
independent postdoctoral researcher to investigate the mechanisms that impact innate immune cell
development in diabetes that leads to non-healing diabetic foot ulcers. The lab has established protocols for
human tissue banking, bone marrow oraganoid culture, and murine models. The Lab has a variety of projects
and seeks a postdoctoral position who is interested in developing algorithms to analyze and process large
sequencing datasets, image processing and quantification, biochemical and molecular assays. We have several
collaborators in the Diabetes Center of Excellence for technical and professional support. The postdoc will be expected.
