Laboratory Science Professional (Entry) – Cardiology Research ( Job Number: 39420 ) Description: University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus Department: Medicine – Division of Cardiology Job Title: Laboratory Science Professional (Entry) – Cardiology Research Position #: 00846378– Requisition #: 39420 Job Summary: The Bell lab at the University of Colorado Anschutz is a highly collaborative and supportive research group focused on the field of Cardio-Oncology. This Professional Research Assistant will investigate the molecular basis of systems interaction and crosstalk between cancer and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Mounting epidemiologic evidence demonstrates that patients with cancer have substantially increased morbidity and mortality from CVD, and those with CVD also have a concurrent increased risk of cancer. We focus on understanding the bidirectional interactions and mechanistic similarities between CVD and cancer. We investigate this relationship using multiple techniques including inducible lineage-tracing murine models, single cell RNA and ATAC sequencing, cell culture assays, and human genetics, with all our hypotheses being further generated and refined by experienc...
