Allan Goldstein labの堀田亮と申します。 この度は当ラボに興味を持って頂きありがとうございます。
我々の研究室はMGH Simches Research Center内にあり、テクニシャン1人、ポスドク1人、ファカルティー1人(私)に加え、流動的ながら医学生、クリニカルフェローが通常1ー2人、という比較的小さなラボです。
研究テーマは腸管神経の発生と再生です。脳-腸相関、gut feelingなどの言葉から連想されるように、腸管にも固有の神経ネットワークがあり、脳と密接な連絡を取りつつ、しかしながら同時に脳からは独立して、腸管の様々な機能、例えば蠕動運動の制御を行なっております。
この腸管神経が先天的に欠損するヒルシュスプルング病という病気につき、発生生物学的観点から病因を解明していくことと、新規治療としての神経幹細胞移植の可能性に迫ることが当ラボのメインテーマとなっております。
細胞培養、免疫染色、live cell imaging、molecular biologyの一般的なご経験がある方が望ましいですが、特殊な技術は必要としないポストと考えております。ご興味のある方のご連絡をお待ちしております。
