Interest/background in cellular senescence, fibrosis biology, translational drug discovery, and relevant cellular/in vivo models. Hands-on immunology/immune cell biology; experience with therapeutic modality development; proteomic/transcriptomic/high-parameter single-cell and imaging approaches; human iPSC culture/directed differentiation; disease-relevant human tissue and/or in vivo fibrosis models; strong multi-modal analytical skills.
