Description:

Project Description:
The Tsukasaki Laboratory, Department of Pharmacology and Regenerative Medicine, University of Illinois at Chicago College of Medicine, is a research laboratory focused on pulmonary immune dynamics supported by an NIH PO1/RO1 grant.

Our lab seeks to understand the molecular/cellular dynamics of neutrophils, vascular endothelial cells and macrophages in lung inflammatory diseases (e.g., acute respiratory distress syndrome) using lung intravital imaging (Immunity 2024 (PMID: 38091995), Nat Commun. 2023 (PMID: 37852964), ACS nano 2022 (PMID: 35230826), Nat Immunol. 2022 (PMID: 32839607), J Clin Invest. 2020 (PMID: 32298238), Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2019 ( PMID: 31363052), Circ Res. 2017 (PMID: 29217714)). We are also developing a stabilized lung intravital imaging method using computer-vision technique (Am J Respir Cell Mol Biol. 2022 (PMID: 34555309)) and applied it to metabolic imaging and oxygen/reactive oxygen imaging methods in lung tissue.

The Department of Pharmacology and Regenerative Medicine ranks seventh in the United States in funding in the field of pharmacology and pharmaceutical sciences. The department has a full range of common equipment including two-photon/confocal imaging, and is actively engaged in high-level research activities.

Our laboratory is currently seeking an enthusiastic and dedicated postdoctoral researcher with experience of two-photon imaging using mouse model and molecular/cellular biological experiments in lung biology and . We especially welcome candidates who can start by the end of this year, but the timing of the appointment can be negotiated.

Job Description:
The researcher will conduct lung immunological research using in vivo imaging of living mice and other biological techniques. In addition, the successful candidate will be actively involved in collaborative research within the department, conference presentations, publication of research papers, and mentoring of students.
