**Job Description**
The Department of OB/GYN seeks a Life Science Research Professional 1(LSRP1) to assist with research projects involving treatment of stress urinary incontinence or/and pelvic floor prolapse with stem cells and understanding the basic pathophysiology of pelvic floor disorders. Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) where the urethral sphincter is deficient allowing for leakage of urine with activities. Standard surgery for SUI is effective in 80% of patients. Dr.Chen’s lab has developed stem cell therapy which has the advantage of safe skin biopsy, cell “rejuvenation” through the process of iPSC reprogramming, and ability to produce a large homogeneous cell population.
The LSRP 1 will be responsible for assisting senior laboratory members in the preparation and analysis of hiPSC reprogramming with mRNA/RNA method, expansion, banking and characterization of these new derived hiPSC lines, differentiation to smooth muscle cell progenitors (pSMCs) differenti...
