The laboratory of Dr. Brian Coon in the Cardiovascular Biology Research Program at the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation (OMRF) is seeking postdoctoral scientists.
The Coon lab studies the physiological relationship between vascular biomechanics and homeostasis, and how the disruption of these circuits contributes to vascular diseases. We are multidisciplinary and welcome applicants with diverse backgrounds. After an initial selection period, applicants will be invited to discuss projects that leverage their scientific interests and technical strengths to address critical questions in vascular biology. Examples of our current projects include the study of - novel mouse genetic models of human diseases, genetic and biochemical drivers of vascular remodeling, crosstalk between mechanotransduction and metabolism pathways, and cell state transitions.
