Recruitment of visiting scholar and CSC graduate students in Su Lab at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (USA)

Su Lab at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (USA): An important goal of Su laboratory is to investigate the associations between metabolic inflammation, lipid/lipoprotein metabolism microRNA physiology and the molecular mechanisms underlying metabolic syndrome, such as obesity and diabetes. Su lab’s research program concerns three main areas: (1) The association between microRNAs induced by lipogenic diets and insulin resistance. (2) The mechanisms underlie the aberrant activation of hepatic de novo lipogenesis in insulin resistant animal models, including the transcription factors liver X receptor and CREBH and the very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) metabolism. (3) The interaction between gut bacteria and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Visiting scholars and exchange students in Su lab will receive a broad and comprehensive training to discover novel links between nutrient signaling, lipid/lipoprotein metabolisms in the onset of chronic metabolic disorders. Each scholar/trainee will have an independent project and also be involved in topic-common projects in the laboratory to broaden their knowledge of biomedical sciences. Su lab has successful experience with visiting scholars and exchange students. For instance, a visiting professor published two first author articles and two co-author papers (Impact factors 4.9-6.6) in 18 months. An exchange graduate student published two first-author and a co-author papers (impact factors 4.6-6.6) in 19 months.  

Requirement:  1) A Master degree in biomedical sciences. 2) Financial supports from the Chinese government that cover his/her living expenses in USA.  Preference will be given to scholars who have research experience on microRNA/IBD/gut microbiota study and publications.

How to apply:  Please send 1) your curriculum vitae; 2) Photocopies of the financial supports from Chinese government; 3) Personal statement of your research interest to qsu2@unl.edu 返回小木虫查看更多
